INCLUSIVE SOCIAL PROTECTION
Supporting the design of social protection policies that promote full participation, account for the extra costs of disability and promote community support.
We work to develop, promote, and implement Inclusive Social Protection Policies. A Social Protection Policy is inclusive when it supports participation, that is when Social Protection benefits are not tied to a supposed inability to work or seen as replacing earnings, but as support supplying the cash, goods, and services needed for persons with disabilities to participate on an equal basis with others.
Thus, our work focuses on the following:
- Methods for estimating the costs and types of goods and services needed for equal participation.
- Developing disability assessments that identify the supports needed for equal participation.
