Disability, inclusion and development




Poverty reduction and disability

Poverty and disability are linked in a vicious cycle: people with disabilities are more prone to live in chronic poverty, which in turn can lead to disabling conditions. Disability movements call for a break in this link through the inclusion of disability issues in international development work.

The key list provides resources giving a general overview, looking at the theory of the links and interactions between poverty and disability, as well as related issues such as development, health and social inclusion. A section on case studies includes the application of these issues to geographical areas in Africa and Asia, and in topical areas such as gender and employment. We welcome your suggestions: please send comments or suggested additions to source@ich.ucl.ac.uk.
