Disability Knowledge and Research Programme - Reducing Poverty Study

Mainstreaming disability in development: Lessons from gender mainstreaming

Reducing poverty study:

This paper by Carol Miller and Bill Albert, March 2005, explores the meaning of mainstreaming, specifically looking at how it emerged as a strategy of feminist advocacy in the context of development, and draws comparisons with the history of the disability movement. The paper explores recent recommendations that have been made for mainstreaming disability, with specific empahsis on DFID, and compares these with what is currently seen to be 'good practice' in gender mainstreaming.
