Lessons learned from experience: case studies Inclusive Employment Title: Towards Income Generating Activities (TIGA II) Countries: Cambodia Specific thematic: Small Grant Mechanism for Inclusive Services Presented by: OL Soveasna
Description of the good practices • Welcomed by many services providers and local authorities. • A complete approach to bring change in: • Policy • Person • Service • Sustainable – Service provider is owner. • It is a low cost project.
The most significant changes “We require funding from HI to build the facilities in BSDA to be suitable and accessible to all people including the disabled persons and older people in community. This will also mean that our training programs will be attractive to them. To help them come out of their abject poverty and hence avoid being discriminated, the disabled persons need to be able to be self sufficient by getting proper training”. Mr SAY Sokhoeun, Project Coordinator, Budhism for Social Development Action (BSDA) Change of staff attitude toward people with disabilities.
How to duplicate or develop these practices? To duplicate or replicate the project, please make sure: • Human resources: you need both disability and accessibility officer. • Assessment tools and standard: to assess the gap based on an approved or applicable local accessibility standard. • A clear process from A to Z • Indicators: it needs more than scoring system to measure changes. • Communication: stay close with media for promotion of the mechanism and aware people with disabilities of new opportunities they may get. • Information of people with disabilities • Set up a grant management committee
Summary of Key Points • The complete approach to inclusive services. • It needs to have disability and accessibility officers to work together all the time. • Sustainability of service providers is also a criteria of selection. • It will be better if the project goes along with other interventions/initiations.
