The Inclusive Education in the Sahel Project 2017-2021 implemented by HI and co-financed by NORAD and AFD (Burkina Faso) has created a “collaborative dynamic for organizations of persons with disabilities (OPDs) and civil society movements working in education at the regional level (West Africa) and national level (Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger) for the promotion of inclusive education”, and this study aims to capitalise on this dynamic. The ultimate goal of the project was to increase the number of children attending school in these three countries, especially children with disabilities and/or marginalised children. To achieve this objective, the project has developed an advocacy component aimed at sensitising communities about inclusive education on the one hand, and bringing about changes in education policies and sectoral plans to make them more inclusive, on the other hand.

The objective of the assessment is to understand the needs of people with disabilities and their families during the implementation of restrictions by the Government of Jordan in response to COVID‐19. The findings will provide insights for intervention planning at Humanity & Inclusion (HI) and evidence for advocacy effort with the local authority regarding support policies for vulnerable groups and movement permission for humanitarian aids.

HI conducted the assessment in April 2020 via phone survey with 942 households including 524 households having adults with disabilities and 418 households having children with disabilities. HI used purposive sampling to select the respondents from the currently active beneficiary dataset. Due to the large size of rehabilitation project, 93% of respondents were people with physical impairment. The results should be used as reference rather than representation for the needs of people with disabilities in Jordan.

 

The assessment findings are presented in two parts: Data at individual level and Data at household level.
