2. Learning Publication: Lessons Learned

This publication summarises the findings and broader 'lessons learned' from the Disability KaR programme (2003-2005).

The programme developed a strong focus on mainstreaming disability in development, saw partnerships grow between organisations in developed and developing countries, and saw disabled people taking a lead in research.

Each section of the publication is designed to stand alone or be read in conjunction with the other sections.

3. Newspaper articles
As part of the information dissemination strategy a number of newspaper articles were written to promote the findings and experiences of the programme participants.

The stories were covered by a number of media channels including the African news site AllAfrica.com, The Daily Star Bangladesh, South Asia Media Net and 'One in Five' a national New Zealand radio programme.
