Disability Inclusive Pre-Primary Landscape Review
Donor: USAID • Prime: EDC • Timeframe: Jan – Nov. 2022
IDP led a landscape review to provide USAID and its partners with a better understanding of how disability-inclusive pre-primary education (PPE) manifests across a range of contexts, in order to help inform future USAID programming. This landscape review was part of the United States Agency for International Development’s Leading through Learning Global Platform (USAID LTLGP), which was implemented by the Education Development Center (EDC). The landscape review looked at what organizations are working in the PPE space, what they are doing, and what their goals/objectives are, in order to inform future USAID programming. In addition to the landscape review, IDP held regional and global ideation events to gather best practices and innovative ideas on how to best ensure children with disabilities and their families have access to quality, equitable, and inclusive PPE programming. Both the landscape review and ideation events will inform the creation of a white paper, which will include guiding principles to consider when creating inclusive PPE, best practices for implementing inclusive PPE, and key considerations and challenges.
