3. Added value for HI • Includes objective and subjective measures • Is designed with the informed input of persons with disabilities, all while taking into account info important for HI and international standards • Allows for some comparability • Easily adaptable to the context • Allows to monitor the progress of a person + elements to analyze the whole project • Can link to CRPD specific articles / monitoring
4. Limits / questions • • Nothing is disability-specific! Considered complex by some programs May be seen as “yet another monitoring tool” Need to plan for someone to carry out analysis of information + make sure that it is adapted to the context • Includes change not necessarily linked to the project / so far has not included a witness group (other Pw. D or persons with no disabilities) • Based more on interest of individuals than TRD position/recommendation /// • Basic needs section: focused on family or individual? • Participation: more participation or choice to participate? /// • Generic tool finalization / other categories (eg water and sanitation? )
Exercise • • Are all these relevant? What is missing? Suggest some criteria for each category Report on ideas and discussion
