About the project
It is a very exciting time to join Leonard Cheshire’s International Team in this new innovative programme that aims to improve the well-being and inclusion of people with disabilities in low and middle-income settings. This will be achieved through international development actors who are able to access new, innovative and effective approaches to supporting people with disabilities focusing on jobs and livelihoods using improved high-quality data, evidence and technical support on disability inclusion being routinely used for decision making.
The project is based in Bangladesh and Kenya and designed to develop, test, validate, and share learning from interventions that will directly improve access to waged employment in the private sector for women and men with disabilities. It will demonstrate the potential for change by identifying the most successful interventions that strengthen the disability ecosystem.
