World Bank

Borrowing countries align projects with the Bank's disability inclusion guidance before loans close.

Builder-side Interventions → Set Requirements that Include Accessibility

info

The World Bank Group's core arms -- the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA) -- provide loans, credits, and grants to national governments for development projects (infrastructure, health, education, etc.). Before any loan is approved, a Project Appraisal Document (PAD) must satisfy the Bank's Environmental & Social Framework, which now includes a Disability-Inclusion & Accountability Framework.

"Three quarters (75%) of Social Protection projects will be disability inclusive by 2025."
"Charlotte McClain-Nhlapo ... focuses on working with and supporting operational teams across the institution to ensure that Bank policies, programs and projects take people with disabilities into consideration"

📝 Disclaimer

The ENABLE Model draws on the principles of anthropology and the practice of journalism to create a public ethnography of accessibility, documenting how people intervene or compensate for accessibility breakdowns in the real world. Inclusion here does not imply endorsement. It chronicles observed use -- how a tool, organization, or strategy is actually used -- rather than how it is marketed.
