This good practice guide is an outcome of the research conducted by Oxford Brookes University over three years (2014-2017) evaluating the practices of six humanitarian organisations (Red Cross, Islamic Relief Worldwide, HelpAge International, Concern Worldwide, CBM International, Christian Aid International) to make their humanitarian practices more inclusive of older people and people with disabilities, as a part of the Age and Disability Capacity Programme (ADCAP). The good practice guide has identified nine change themes that organisations can embed to make their humanitarian response and planning more inclusive. Humanitarian actors can use the collection of practical examples and approaches identified in the guide, for purposes such as when: designing new inclusive programmes; adapting current programmes to make them inclusive; adjusting organisational frameworks and programming tools to make them inclusive; undertaking systematic reviews of organisational policies and practices from an inclusion perspective; reviewing and developing staff competencies on inclusion; and developing staff training tools on inclusion based on good practice examples.
All mainstream and specialist organisations engaged in humanitarian responses and emergency situations can learn and benefit from the experiences detailed in this practical guide.
