Disability Steering Committee

The Disability Steering Committee is a group of CP AoR members. Its main objective is to support CP AoR counterparts in implementing disability inclusion in child protection programs.

Tip Sheet of Disability Inclusion

This tip sheet has been developed to assist child protection actors in their programming to ensure it is disability inclusive. Evidence suggests that in every context, approximately 13% of people are living with a disability. This is likely to be much higher in a context such as Myanmar where conflict and landmines are prevalent. Over a third of household have at least one member with a disability. As child protection actors it is critical we are supporting all children including children and caregivers living with a disability.
