The importance of disability inclusion in social protection programmes: an introduction

This is a set of three resources from the Disability Inclusion Helpdesk on how to make social protection programmes accessible and effective for people with disabilities. 

These resources explain why it is important that people with disabilities are included in social protection activities. They share good practice on gathering information and experiences of organisations of people with disabilities (OPDs). 

The three resources include:

Murad Code: the global code of conduct for gathering and using information about systematic and conflict-related sexual violence

This resource is the Murad Code which brings together existing minimum standards for the safe and ethical collection and use of information from survivors of systematic and conflict-related sexual violence (SCRSV). It outlines how survivors of violence can be harmed through improper information collection and provides guidance on how to mitigate the risks of causing harm. 

The disability-confident employers' toolkit

This resource is a toolkit intended to support businesses to be disability confident. It includes practical guides, checklists, case studies and resources which are based on best practice and principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN CRPD).

The resource aims to help organisations employ people with disabilities safely and equitably. It provides guidance to support businesses to become leaders on accessible and inclusive workplaces.

The toolkit includes:

Technology-facilitated gender-based violence: preliminary landscape analysis

This resource sets out the evidence base on technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV), an assessment of evidence gaps, and emerging research priorities. It also sets out some of the key methodological and ethical challenges in accessing and collecting data on TFGBV. The resource primarily focuses on TFGBV against women and girls in all their diversity, applying an intersectional gender lens to explore the disproportionate impacts of TFGBV on women and girls, including those who experience intersecting forms of oppression, including lesbian, bisexual, queer, and trans women.

Supply chain decarbonisation with a gender lens: practical guidance for multinational companies planning Scope 3 emissions reductions

This resource is written for multinational businesses operating in low and middle-income countries that are working to decarbonise. It is designed for businesses that rely on significant numbers of female employees within their supply chains – for example, agriculture and textiles. The resource sets out a simplified approach to integrating gender and Net Zero carbon planning. It does this through giving guidance and practical steps that companies can take, including through examples and case studies. 

Social protection as a 'solar’ system

This resource sets out the concept of social protection as a ‘solar’ system – a simple, cohesive, visually clear system. The system is made up of different ‘building blocks’, relating to policy, programme design, implementation and delivery. The resource suggests that these different components are the necessary ingredients for delivering effective social protection. It brings together existing good practice and research to suggest actions that people working in social protection might take within different parts of the overall ‘system’.

Social development for mental health: scaling up promising and best practice in development

This video from the Knowledge, Evidence and Learning for Development (K4D) programme focuses on mental health. It discusses the latest evidence on community-based mental health work, and explains an approach called BasicNeeds for mental health in development. It suggests how the BasicNeeds model could be used in existing and future development programmes. 

International protocol on the documentation and investigation of sexual violence in conflict (second edition)

This resource is an International Protocol which outlines best practice guidance on how to document and investigate, sexual violence in conflict settings as a war crime, crime against humanity, act of genocide or other serious violation of international criminal, human rights or humanitarian law. It was produced in collaboration with over 200 gender and sexual violence experts and was launched at the 2014 Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict. 

Safe programming for CSOs in humanitarian and development settings

This infographic explains how civil society organisations can design and deliver programmes that are safe for programme participants and general community members. The resource defines what safe programming is and sets out ways in which civil society organisations working in the humanitarian and development sector can achieve this. It provides practical examples and recommendations.

This resource is also available in Afaan Oromo, Amharic, Arabic, Bangla, French, Hausa, Igbo, Somali, Swahili, Tigrigna and Yoruba.
