Consultancy: Strengthening inclusion of Persons With Disability (PWD) In WASH Programmes

Norwegian Church Aid is one of the largest aid organisations in the Nordic region. We are there in disasters and emergencies to provide water and critical assistance to those affected. Together with our international network and partner organisations in the ACT Alliance we are able to reach millions of people each year and help make a positive difference around the world. We are determined to work towards eradicating injustice and we therefore work passionately with advocacy, long-term development in local communities and providing emergency assistance. As we see more and more people impacted by disasters, we now have an even stronger focus on providing more people with emergency relief and access to clean water. We believe that people in need must be helped and we will not stop fighting for a just world.

Scope of the consultancy

NCA seeks to strengthen its disability inclusion efforts and wants to renew the focus of working with and for PWD because NCA’s work has adopted a rights-based approach and is committed to the principles “leave no one behind” and “do no harm”. The fact that PWD account up to 15% of the global population and often disability exacerbates other forms of exclusion (based on gender, census, age, ethnicity …) further motivates NCA in better include PWD in its programmes.

The consultancy will focus on NCA’s global CRWASH Programme to improve inclusion of persons with disability in CRWASH activities and uphold their rights and dignity.
Through this consultancy, NCA would like to achieve:

l. Mapping of practices and experiences in NCA CRWASH programme (both development and humanitarian context)

• a) How systematically are PWD identified and involved in project design, implementation and monitoring/ evaluation?
• b) How systematically are CRWASH services adapted to PWD in institutions, public spaces and households?
• c) How adequate are infrastructure and services designed and implemented for the usage of PWD?

ll. Identification of barriers faced by NCA and partners on working with/for PWD; is it different from working with/for other minorities?
lll. Identification of barriers on providing WASH services adapted to PWD.
lV. Development and use of a tool for COs self-evaluation on PWD inclusion in CRWASH.
V. Recommendations and way forward for improving inclusion of PWD in CRWASH activities.
