Any related travel, accommodation and per diem costs need to be covered by the participants. We aim to provide the training as accessible as possible for persons with disabilities. Reasonable accommodation adjustments will be available upon request.
Objective
Participants will learn how to apply the IASC Guidelines on the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Humanitarian Actions, focusing on the 4 (four) must-do actions. They will improve their knowledge of Organisations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs), understand their structure, and what it means to collaborate at eye level. They will gain knowledge on supporting participation through practical arrangements like reasonable accommodation and application of the twin-track approach. Finally, they will gain practical knowledge on implementing inclusive approaches for all individuals with different types of disabilities, including women, men, girls, and boys.
In this training, participants will:
- Understand how to apply the IASC Guidelines on the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Humanitarian Action with a focus on the 4 (four) Must do Actions and essentially the meaningful participation and empowerment of persons with disabilities.
- Identify OPDs, know more about their structure and functioning and know the advantages and challenges collaborating with OPDs as well as their own responsibilities collaborating with them.
- Gain knowledge on how to support the meaningful participation of persons with disabilities through practical arrangements such as reasonable accommodation, or through applying a twin-track approach in humanitarian interventions.
- Get to know practical approaches on how to make their interventions inclusive for all persons with different types of disabilities, including women, men, boys and girls with different types of disabilities, including also IDPs with disabilities.
Methodology
The training will follow a “blended learning” approach which includes online and in-person sessions. The training starts with a half-day online introduction and an online selflearning exercise of around 60 minutes. The two-day face-to-face workshop in Berlin, co-facilitated by Organisations of Persons with disabilities from Cameroon, will include a diverse mix of input presentations and practical case studies, group work, plenary discussions, and the option for individual advisory sessions.
