Recommendation 21
21
Paragraph: 80
Ensure FCDO SRHR programmes include dedicated budget, targets, and disaggregated data for disabled people.
Recommendation
People with disabilities may face additional barriers to accessing SRHR programmes and providing services to people with disabilities may often take additional resources. Consequently, organisations implementing development programmes may be disincentivised from reaching marginalised groups as programmes are often required to show that they have reached as many recipients as possible. The FCDO should ensure that all SRHR programmes are accessible to people with disabilities. 44 The FCDO’s approach to sexual and reproductive health FCDO’s SRHR programmes should include a dedicated budget, baselines, targets, and key performance indicators so that people with disabilities are fully integrated into aid programmes. In addition, all FCDO programming on SRHR should record disaggregated data on aid recipients, including age, sex, and disability to assess how successful they are at inclusivity.
