Leaving no one behind requires deliberate, rigorous approaches to inclusion and a rights-based stance that holds duty-bearers to account. This advanced program equips practitioners to design and lead programmes that reach the most marginalised and that treat development as the realisation of rights rather than the delivery of charity.
Designed for an international audience, the course integrates current practice in disability inclusion, intersectionality, the human rights-based approach (HRBA), and social accountability. Participants will gain the analytical and design skills to embed inclusion and rights across the programme cycle.
