Project

Inclusive Futures

Inclusive Futures is a Consortium programme of 16 global partners, led by Sightsavers, focussing on advancing the inclusion of people with disabilities.

The project brings together a diverse range of NGOs and research centres with expertise in different areas.

Together we’re pooling our collective expertise and working with disabled people’s organisations to create innovative solutions and remove key barriers that can prevent disabled people from accessing education, health care and work.

Inclusive Futures runs in seven countries, developing and delivering education, health, work, and stigma and discrimination programmes.

Our area of focus

IDS is working with all Inclusive Futures partners to establish, integrate, promote, and facilitate a participatory, inclusive and reflective approach to research, innovation and research uptake. To support the programmes, we’re developing and communicating learning around participatory, innovative, and empowering research practices.
