The knowledge and communication component of Disability KaR, managed by Healthlink Worldwide, is an important aspect of the programme. At the start of the programme a needs assessment was undertaken to inform the knowledge and communication component of the programme. The assessment sought information on the issues people would like to discuss with the programme and the different methods to do this.
The
needs assessment is available to read in PDF format (38 pages 388 KB)
The knowledge and communication component of the Disability KaR programme includes:
1. The development and promotion of the Disability KaR website to support the communication of disability knowledge and research from the programme.
2. The Disability KaR programme newsletter. The three editions of 'The KaReport' provided a forum for the sharing of learning from all aspects of the programme, including the policy project, competition projects, thematic research, electronic and face-to-face communications and resources. Read the latest edition of the KaReport >>
3. Three regionally based roundtables. These provide a forum for face-to-face interaction between a wide range of stakeholders from the North and South. Participants include members of Disabled People’s Organisations (DPOs), government organisations, national and international non-governmental organisations, bi-lateral agencies and other organisations and institutions working in disability practice or in disability policy. Three roundtables were held; in Malawi, India and Cambodia and each event focused on a different area of disability and development. Find out more in the roundtable section >>
4. Online discussion group (e-forum) designed to support face-to-face meetings and events, especially the roundtables - see the E-forum section for more details >>
5. Communication of the programme research and knowledge, for example supporting disability key lists and resources, in association with Source International Information Centre.
6. The production of a learning publication to support the findings of the programme. The publication will analyse the research and knowledge from the programme and report on the findings. Read the learning publication >>
