Policy Approaches to Dis/ability Inclusive Development

- Abstract
- Dis/ability rights have for a long time been excluded from the discourse and practice of international development. This has taken a turn with the creation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

This thesis aims to examine how the Swedish international development cooperation agency (Sida) deals with the inclusion of dis/ability in policy and practice. A textual analysis in combination with interviews has been thematically applied to a framework of dis/ability mainstreaming in order to study this question. The findings present an analysis of to what extent the current Sida approach to dis/ability resembles dis/ability mainstreaming, as well as some indicators of the implications of using the current approach in terms of including dis/ability perspectives. The results indicate that Sida has a comprehensive framework that allows for dis/ability inclusion, but this framework is not implemented evenly and is highly dependent on context. (Less)
