DID Disability inclusion is a neglected, under-prioritised issue in international development; a lack of evidence around what works in practice to deliver inclusion contributes to difficulty in building effective programmes. The DFID Disability Inclusive Development (DID) Programme is a £30m programme designed to contribute to the long-term improved well-being and inclusion of people with disabilities in low-and-middle-income countries. DID will carry out a series of small scale interventions around increased access to health care and education, improved livelihoods and reduced stigma and discrimination, using new development approaches such as adaptive management and community-based consultation to deliver better quality of life for persons with disabilities. The programme will create a solid evidence base around what delivers positive results for persons with disabilities to scale up, as well as ensure this data and evidence is disseminated and informs the global community and governments. DID will run for six years and complement DFID’s current disability inclusion programming including UK Aid Connect.

IA QM of participation in Local Planning Sightsavers’ Citizenship and Political Participation work includes a focus on increasing the inclusivity of local development processes, plans and implementation. As such, Sightsavers is piloting a new approach to measure progress in the level of participation of people with disabilities (individual / OPD members) in local development processes, and progress of the level of inclusivity in the planning and implementation of local development plans. The tools have been drafted and scoped remotely due to COVID-19, including two remote workshops (one Cameroon and one in Senegal) with key stakeholders such as local council members, OPDs and CSO representatives. They need piloting in-country with stakeholders to test, learn and adapt the tools before they can be rolled out. Piloting is therefore planned for 2022 when we hope local and international travel will go ahead.

LSHTM This project will look at mentorship as a quality improvement tool in the outcome of cataract surgery. Little is known about effective methods of improving the quality of cataract surgery in low income countries and monitoring outcome alone is inadequate to improve quality. Other methods of quality improvement need to be explored. Mentoring is widely used elsewhere to improve quality but needs to be assessed in low income settings before it can be advocated as a quality improvement tool. Mentors are experienced clinicians who support hospital teams to manage change. Mentors have been shown, in some cases, to be effective ‘change agents’. This study aims to assess whether using mentors in hospitals in low income countries can improve the quality of cataract surgery.
