  • 摘要:In Ethiopia, disability issues have been invisible in economic, social and political agendas. This was also the case in World Vision Ethiopia. Disabled people are the poorest of the poor and marginalized in the country because of misconception about disability. World Vision Ethiopia is known for its developmental work through the country but until very recently it was not inclusive of disabled people, even though they account for significant numbers in the population. For World Vision Ethiopia, the first step to inclusive development was changing attitude of its staff, partners, persons with disability and the community it works along with. Even though we have not yet achieved disability inclusion fully, we strive to mainstream disability through out the organization in the near future. We have made a great achievement as an organization by realizing that mainstreaming disability is not about sectorial priority but it is about inclusion.
