RE: Addressing disability inclusion through evaluations in agriculture and rural development | Eval Forward

The last evaluation on disability inclusion commissioned by the Evaluation Department in Norad was launched in 2012 and can be accessed here: https://norad.no/om-bistand/publikasjon/2012/mainstreaming-disability-in-the-new-development-paradigm-evaluation-of-norwegian-support-to-promote-the-rights-of-persons-with-disabilities/

In the preparation for an upcoming evaluation on disability-inclusion, the Evaluation Department has consulted widely with stakeholders, including a number of Norwegian-based DPOs. One issue that was raised multiple times during our consultation concerns the need for clarity around terms and definitions, ensuring a common language, and common methods of measurement, ensuring reliable and comparable data.

The Evaluation Department is currently commissioning a mapping of Norway’s’ disability-inclusion efforts from 2010 and onwards. The mapping will take point of departure in the recently introduced OECD-DAC policy marker on inclusion and empowerment of persons with disabilities (http://www.oecd.org/officialdocuments/publicdisplaydocumentpdf/?cote=DCD/DAC/STAT/RD(2019)1/RD1&docLanguage=En )
