In this training, you will learn how to apply the IASC Guidelines on the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Humanitarian Actions, focusing on the four must-do actions. You will improve your knowledge of Organizations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs), understand their structure, and what it means to collaborate at eye level. You will also gain knowledge on supporting participation through practical arrangements like reasonable accommodation and application of the twin-track approach. Finally, you will gain practical knowledge on implementing inclusive approaches for all individuals with different types of disabilities, including women, men, girls, and boys.

The training will follow a “blended learning” approach which includes online and in-person sessions. The training starts with a half-day online introduction and an online self-learning exercise of around 60 minutes. The two-day (September 18 & 19) face-to-face workshop in Berlin, co-facilitated by Organizations of Persons with Disabilities from Cameroon, will include a diverse mix of input presentations and practical case studies, group work, plenary discussions, and the option for individual advisory sessions.

The target group consists of Project managers and technical advisors of German-based humanitarian actors and their (local) offices and partners with experience in humanitarian action programming.
