Organisation: Women’s Refugee Commission
A toolkit for practitioners for promoting access to, and inclusion in, refugee programmes and for developing guidance for political implementation.

The Women’s Refugee Commission (WRC) conducted an assessment on refugees with disabilities that resulted in the first comprehensive report and toolkit for practitioners on promoting access and inclusion in all programmes. The WRC used report findings to promote a UN High Commissioner for Refugees’ Conclusion on Refugees with Disabilities. The WRC built a coalition of NGOs, advocated with Member States, and drafted the Conclusion language which was adopted by the UNHCR’s governing body in 2010. The WRC is working with the UNHCR on a strategy to roll out their global guidance for implementation of the Conclusion including piloting the guidance in four refugee settings and one internal displacement context to demonstrate and advocate for improvement in practices globally.
