This study has been produced jointly by Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH,a federally owned enterprise,implementing development programmes on behalf of the German Government,and CBM,a non-governmental organisation. Accordingly,its aim is to offer guidanceto those in both governmental and non-governmental organisations on development cooperation. Given the wide and differing range of implementation procedures,levels of intervention and organisational cultures,it is not a ready-to-be-applied toolbox with concrete blueprints for action. Rather,it raises awareness on core human rights and disability – inclusive principles. It explains and illustrates the implications of applying these principles to development practice. Practitioners can therefore use the guidance to initiate a process of consideration of how to embed these principles within their programmes.
The methodology of the study is based on a review of available literature and project documents.
