Insights from a Household Survey – Social Inclusion Programme

Sightsavers India has developed a results framework for their social inclusion project, which includes objectives and outcomes towards the economic empowerment of persons with disabilities. The defined aim of the programme towards this goal is to facilitate the participation of persons with disabilities in employment, access to social protection and livelihood opportunities. The outcomes highlighted include improved stakeholder participation to ensure access to financial and business development services by persons with disability, enhanced delivery of disability-inclusive social protection entitlements, and improved access to employment and livelihood.

This study has been conducted to gauge the current situation of persons with disabilities in targeted locations. The study’s results will inform the design of Sightsavers India’s social inclusion programming, emphasising economic empowerment. The study will also serve as a baseline to measure the impact of programming in the future
