Abstract
This note discusses the varied
strategies adopted by Community Driven Development - CDD -
programs to ensure the inclusion of disabled people. It is
based on five case studies, which represent a wide spectrum
of approaches ranging from micro interventions for building
social capital and community-based rehabilitation, to macro
strategies for policy reform and advocacy efforts based on a
disability rights perspective. The note argues for an
approach which integrates micro and macro interventions, and
balances participatory processes with social protection
mechanisms that are designed to include the needs of
vulnerable groups. The importance of improved targeting, and
building an appropriate enabling environment is also highlighted.
