Good Practices for the Economic Inclusion of People with Disabilities in Developing Countries
Good Practices for the Economic Inclusion of People with Disabilities in Developing Countries
This report, produced by Handicap International (August 2006) aims to highlight good practices, strategies, tools and operational methods that guarantee the efficiency and sustainability of projects that support access to funding mechanisms and the self-employment of landmine victims and people with disabilities in general. One of the objectives of this report is to identify strategies that help reduce poverty among people with disabilities, in this case through access to microcredit for self-employment. While it is estimated that people with disabilities constitute an average of 10 per cent of the population, microfinance organizations reported that 0–0.5 per cent of their clients had a disability; although most of them do not control this variable.
