    With funds received from the Australian government, the Women’s Refugee Commission (WRC) is supporting the work of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Task Team mandated to develop global Guidelines on Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Humanitarian Action, assuming a technical lead role to:

    1.      ensure gender is mainstreamed across the IASC Disability Guidelines in consultation with humanitarian stakeholders;

    2.      draft and pilot sector-specific guidance for GBV prevention and response actors on disability inclusion (completed in February 2019); and

    3.     develop and deliver training packages to support the rollout and implementation of the IASC Disability Guidelines (planned in 2019-2020). 

    In accordance with Objective nr.2,  it recently piloted disability inclusion in Gender-Based Violence Programming in Jordan, Sri-Lanka and Uganda. The pilot projects were implemented by Allianza por la Solidaridad (ApS), Family Planning Association (FPA), and the National Union of Women with Disabilities in Uganda (NUWODU), together with their consortium partners. The attached report summarizes the main outcomes and learning documented by pilot partners implementing inclusive approaches in humanitarian action as set forth in the draft IASC Disability Guidelines (GBV section) to address the protection and empowerment of women and girls with disabilities. While the findings and recommendations are drawn from the GBV sector specific guidance, we believe they have relevance across other sectors and for all stakeholders.

    The WRC is deeply grateful to Allianza por la Solidaridad (ApS), Family Planning Association (FPA), and the National Union of Women with Disabilities in Uganda (NUWODU) as well as the IASC Task Team and the Co-Chairs for their continued collaboration on this work.

    The report is attached in its English, French and Arabic versions.  

    The WRC welcomes any feedback you may have.

    Call for Concept Notes by WRC:

    The development of IASC Disability Guidelines marks a significant step in advancing accountability for the inclusion of persons with disabilities within the inter-agency coordination mechanism. Ensuring non-discrimination requires that such guidelines be gender-sensitive, as well as relevant and appropriate to GBV actors working in humanitarian settings globally.

    Towards these efforts, funds from the Australian government have been made available for organizations to pilot a portion of the draft GBV guidance from the IASC Guidelines in order to demonstrate and document how GBV guidance in the IASC Disability Inclusion Guidelines has been practically applied to support the protection and empowerment of women and girls with disabilities in humanitarian action.

     Results drawn from the pilots will serve to:

    -          Provide feedback towards revising the guidelines

    -          Serve as case study examples on how humanitarian organizations have practically implemented the guidelines

    -          Inform training packages that will be developed to support the roll-out of the guidelines

    Please refer to the attached document for morre information.

    Appel à notes conceptuelles pour piloter (mettre à l'essai) les orientations en matière de VBG:

     L'élaboration des lignes directrices du CPI marque une étape importante dans la promotion de la responsabilisation pour l'inclusion des personnes handicapées dans le mécanisme de coordination interorganisations. Garantir la non-discrimination exige que de telles directives prennent en compte le genre, et soient pertinentes et appropriées pour les acteurs de la VBG travaillant dans des contextes humanitaires à l'échelle mondiale.

    Dans le cadre de ces efforts, des fonds du gouvernement australien ont été mis à la disposition des organisations pour piloter une partie de la version provisoire (draft) des lignes directrices du CPI afin de démontrer et de documenter comment les orientations de la VBG dans les lignes directrices du CPI sur l'inclusion des personnes handicapées ont été mises en œuvre de façon pratique pour soutenir la protection et l'autonomisation des femmes et des filles handicapées dans l'action humanitaire.

    Les résultats issus des expériences pilotes serviront à :

    • Fournir un feedback (retour d'informations) en vue de la révision des lignes directrices  
    • Servir d'exemples d'études de cas sur la façon dont les organisations humanitaires ont mis en œuvre de façon pratique les lignes directrices.
    • Être pris en compte dans les programmes de formation qui seront élaborés pour soutenir le déploiement des lignes directrices.  
    Priere de vous référer au document ci-joint pour de plus amples informations.
