Publication Challenges of Inclusion(2019-07-11); ; ; The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) obliges States Parties to respect, protect and fulfil the rights of person with disabilities. Governments at all Levels are called upon to promote the inclusion of persons with disabilities in all spheres of life. The local Level plays a particular role with respect to provisions made by the CRPD, which states that disability arises from the interaction between a person and her/his physical and social environment. Persons with disabilities are particularly affected by social, environmental and cultural barriers. lt is the social and physical environment of local communities, where these barriers take concrete shape, and where local planning approaches have to manage the dismantling of barriers and the implementation of inclusive structures. The Republic of Ghana ratified the CRPD in 2012 and started to adopt legislative and policy measures for its implementation at all government Levels. But how are these legislative and policy measures being taken up in Ghanaian districts? Which approaches for a local implementation of the CRPD prove to be effective in Ghana? These and further questions were addressed by researchers of the Department of Social Work at the University of Ghana and the Centre for Planning and Evaluation of Social Services (ZPE) at University of Siegen, Germany in a Pilot Project at Suhum Municipal, in the Eastern Region of Ghana, implemented between July 2017 and June 2018. This report presents the findings of a qualitative baseline study on support systems and social service arrangements for persons with disabilities in Suhum, which was conducted in late 2017 as part the pilot project.Source Type:BookSeries:ZPE-Schriftenreihe - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Local Medium-Term Development Planning for People in Vulnerable Situations(2026-04-20); ; ; This research report was prepared as part of the project Local Development for the Inclusion of People in Vulnerable Situations (LOCDEV). The report draws on an empirical analysis of Ghana’s National Medium-Term Development Policy Framework 2022–2025 and 33 municipal and district development plans, as well as survey data and group discussions with local planning actors and social welfare officials. It examines the extent to which the country’s medium-term development planning system provides opportunities for a systematic mainstreaming of the rights and needs of people in vulnerable situations into local development processes. The report presents findings on the structures, processes, and practices through which vulnerability is addressed within local planning. It concentrates on group–specific aspects of vulnerability, as reflected in planning documents, including childhood, youth, old age, gender, disability, and mental health. Both the substantive treatment of these issues and their institutional integration within planning structures and processes are examined. Findings suggest that despite uniform national planning guidelines, local planning practices exhibit a variety of approaches and patterns for addressing these issues. This variation indicates, on the one hand, a degree of discretion that local governments can exercise. On the other hand, it reveals opportunities for peer exchange and collective learning to strengthen vulnerability-responsive local development planning. Therefore, the report also aims to encourage the development of peer exchange and collective learning processes on vulnerability-responsive planning among local government stakeholders.Source Type:BookSeries:ZPE-Schriftenreihe1 15 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
