Objective and main features of proposed activity Sample Clauses

Objective and main features of proposed activity. The objectives of this project are threefold: 1) To support the Indonesia Poverty Analysis Program (INDOPOV); 2) To demonstrate the importance of incorporating disability issues in poverty reduction and service delivery activities; and, 3) To serve as a model for other country studies on how to include disability. According to a recently commissioned report for the East Asia and Pacific Region (EAP), poverty is the underlying cause of disability, whether through malnutrition, lack of health services, unsafe living and working conditions, or other reasons. Furthermore, in a vicious circle, people with disabilities face barriers in attitudes, education, employment, and public services that prevent their escape from poverty. INDOPOV is a three-year program that aims to achieve a major expansion in the analytical foundations for the actions and policy changes needed to reduce poverty in Indonesia. It represents a major effort to enhance the understanding of poverty, its determinants, and its dynamics across a range of stakeholders. At present, though, it does not incorporate the issue of disability. EAP and the Indonesia country team are interested in changing this, as witnessed by the report mentioned above, their recent hiring of a consultant to review regional operations for opportunities to incorporate disability issues, and their support of this proposal. This project will not only help in the establishment of a poverty reduction program, but will serve as an important vehicle for expanding the Bank’s ability to incorporate disability. Activities will be timed in such a way as to serve as inputs in the INDOPOV program. Since 2002 the efforts of the Disability Advisor and her team combined with the support of the NTFDD6, CTFs, and PCF support have helped expand the Bank’s commitment to working on disability issues. [Annex A: 2002-2003 annual report] Slowly disability is being recognized as something not incidental to development but fundamental to achieving elimination of poverty and the Millennium Development Goals. The lack of quality data on disability, however, has hampered our ability to accurately document the effectiveness of service delivery to ameliorate the relationship between disability and poverty. Our gap in understanding undermines program design and implementation. The World Bank has been working on these issues with the UN Statistical Division and the Washington Group on Disability Measurement established by the UNSD. This group consists o...
