Disability-Inclusive Education and Employment: Understanding the Context
Report Series: Phase One
Recognizing that meaningful inclusion for young people with disabilities starts with listening and learning, the Mastercard Foundation developed a research program to map the policy landscape and to hear directly from young people with disabilities.
Phase one of the research on disability-inclusive education and employment maps out the current context and policy landscape. Drawing on analyses of the policy and population data landscape, the reports showed that young people with disabilities risk exclusion from education and employment across the Mastercard Foundation’s seven countries of focus.
This research was carried out in partnership with the International Centre for Evidence in Disability at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), the University of Abuja, the University of Ghana, Lifetime Consulting Ltd, Addis Ababa University, University of Nairobi, Global Advocacy and Research Group and MRC/UVRI & LSHTM Uganda Research Group. Evidence synthesis was supported by Prof Xanthe Hunt, in collaboration with LSHTM and the Mastercard Foundation’s research team.
