ACCESSIBILITY DISABILITY INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS INCLUSIVENESS PERSONS WITH DISABILITY World Bank Technical Note on Accessibility : The Narrative |
| description |
This technical note focuses on
various dimensions of accessibility. The note describes
various accessibility barriers, recommendations,
methodologies, and strategies, with a particular focus on
persons with disabilities. However, as highlighted
throughout the entire document, it is stressed that
accessibility is a universal issue that concerns a much
larger population and intersects with other identities,
including those of children, older persons, persons who have
terminal or transient illnesses/diseases, women and girls,
Indigenous Peoples, youth, sexual and gender minorities,
people with temporary injuries, and
mothers/fathers/caregivers using strollers and other
supportive devices to carry their children. The technical
note on accessibility is primarily meant for World Bank Task
Team Leaders (TTLs), Project Implementing Units (PIUs) and
Environmental & Social (E&S) specialists. However,
it can also serve as a reference for other internal teams
that are working on accessibility issues with the private
sector (for example with the International Finance
Corporation, IFC), and the procurement sector, as well as
for the Bank’s development partners, borrowing
countries, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and
organizations of persons with disabilities (OPDs). This note
focuses primarily on Investment Project Financing (IPF). |
