Webinar: An Introduction to Disability Inclusion and Principles for Digital Development

Webinar: An Introduction to Disability Inclusion and the Principles for Digital Development

 

This webinar will explore disability inclusion technologies and the Principles for Digital Development.

 

The first part of the session focuses on what it means to design inclusive and innovative interventions, with a focus on Assistive Technology (AT), to promote meaningful disability inclusion in international development. How can assistive technologies be used to strengthen inclusion in your projects?

 

In the second part, we will explore the Principles for Digital Development—a set of guidelines designed to support development actors in realising the full potential of digitally enabled programs. The Principles include nine best practices, each supported by guiding questions, useful resources, and project life cycle applications to help you apply them effectively in your work.

 

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn, connect, and be part of the conversation driving digital development forward!

 

The webinar consists of two parts. Each part will last 1.5 hours, with a short break in between. You may attend either session or both.

 

 

 

This webinar is intended for program and administrative staff working in international development—particularly those from Fingo member organisations and their implementing partners across countries.
