Your organisation’s commitments to achieve the rights of people with disabilities in developing countries
A. Commitments for Economic Empowerment
Please select the category which your commitment most relates to: Access to decent work
Please enter the exact wording of the commitment/s, including details of others who have supported its development (75 words limit):
Part of the value proposition that CDC provides to its portfolio includes access to resources and capacity building to support enhanced environmental and social outcomes in Africa and South Asia. We will publish a Good Practice Briefing Note for our fund managers, investees and clients – and broader private sector investors - which will be available via CDCs Toolkit for Fund Managers. The intention will be to provide guidance on inclusive and practical actions that investors/ private sector companies can take to provide decent work for people with disabilities.
Timeframe and/or implementation plan (75 words limit)
We will leverage work that is already underway for the Summit. Once this is published, CDC will expand coverage of tools for industry sectors within CDC portfolio. Timeframe will be Q1 2019 and the Briefing Note may be updated from time to time. We will also raise the issue of disability inclusion with other Development Finance Institutions via the regular meetings we have with these organisations.
