This Guidance Note is intended to assist task teams in applying the Education Global Practice’s Criteria for Disability-Inclusive Investment Project Financing (IPF) in Education. Its goal is to help teams understand how to make projects disability-inclusive and what needs to be included in an IPF project’s documentation so that the project can be coded by the Education Global Practice as meeting the criteria. The note includes answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) and relevant samples from real project documents (lightly edited for clarity).
The Guidance Note is focused on operational questions and is not intended to provide a comprehensive menu of interventions a team may wish to consider in project design. Teams engaged in project dialogue or preparation that would like more information on options to make their project more inclusive should use this document in conjunction with the Inclusive Education Resource Guide,1 which provides more ideas and links to resources. The resource guide and other key documents are available online, at the Inclusive Education Thematic Group web page (which can be accessed by typing “inclusiveeducation” into the WBG browser when connected to the intranet).
