Disabled people's organisations (DPOs) and people with disabilities rarely participate in any PRSP process, despite the professed importance of civil society involvement in the formulation, implementation and evaluation of a country's national poverty reduction strategy. This handbook presents experiences, proposes ideas, and comments on how DPOs and people with disabilities may enter and participate in national PRSP processes.

The handbook seeks to be as concise as possible and as comprehensive as is necessary. It covers the following areas:

  • basic overview of the PRSP process, including identification of stakeholders and the relationship between PRSPs and disability
  • PRSP formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation and entry points for civil society
  • case studies of experiences in Honduras, Bangladesh, Sierra Leone and Tanzania
  • guide to project and process management in developing a strategy, including the tools necessary to achieve this.
