Innovation to Inclusion (i2i) is a 3-year programme funded by UK Aid Connect and implemented in Kenya and Bangladesh. The programme aims to address key challenges persons with disabilities experience in accessing economic opportunities and waged employment in low and middle-income countries.
The 3-year programme will:
- explore innovative market-based interventions to improve livelihoods and autonomy for women and men with disabilities, through collaboration with traditional and non-traditional partners;
- generate data and evidence to further understanding of whether persons with disabilities are benefiting from economic opportunities;
- promote sustained inclusive economic employment for persons with disabilities, particularly women.
The programme is implemented by a consortium of partners led by Leonard Cheshire, which includes: Bangladesh Business and Disability Network, Action for the Disabled Network Kenya, CBM, the Global Disability Innovation Hub, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Plan International UK, International Labour Organisation (ILO), World Bank, European Disability Forum (EDF).
