Methodology
Good practice examples are identified through consultations (e.g., with organizations of people with disabilities, disability-inclusive health experts, etc.), an open online form, and desk research. Potential good practice examples are included based on the fulfillment of at least one of the following criteria:
1
People with disabilities participate in the design, implementation, and/or monitoring and evaluation of interventions.
2
The good practice is based on a human rights perspective (i.e., Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities).
3
An impact or process evaluation has been conducted.
4
The good practice is considered to be sustainable (e.g., it is embedded in a government structure or plan).
Relevant information is then extracted on the good practice example, through interview of the implementers or review of official documents, and these are then summarized and peer-reviewed.
Governance
Appropriate in-country laws and policies assert the right to reasonable accommodation and outlaw discrimination based on disability.
Leadership
Disability is clearly articulated and represented in the Ministry of Health, health sector structures and coordination mechanisms.
Health Financing
There is sufficient earmarked disability inclusion, AT, and rehabilitation budget.
Data & Evidence
Data showing the health situation of people with disabilities, evidence to understand and improve health services.
Demand side
Autonomy & Awareness
People with disabilities make their own decisions about health care and are aware of their rights and options.
Affordability
People with disabilities can afford to access health.
Supply side
Human Resources
Health workforce is knowledgeable about disabilities and has the skills and flexibility to provide quality care.
