comments:

Ways to improve implementation and monitoring will be an important part of the dialogue to draft the ILO’s new Disability Inclusion Strategy (2024-2027). The Office will work with the current ILO/UNDIS Indicator Custodian Departments to develop meaningful baselines and indicators. It will also engage with Policy Departments whose work is not covered by the current Strategy, to develop new indicators to guide the ILO’s growing disability inclusion work. Moreover, the Office will engage with Regional Directors to set indicators that respond to disability inclusion needs of the field offices, and to establish regional-based reviews of the Strategy’s application. The Office is currently reviewing its guidance materials with a view to revising them to incorporate disability inclusion throughout the evaluation process; it will seek to collaborate with the International Disability Alliance to ensure the guidance materials are revised adequately.

title:

4. Strengthen the monitoring of the new multi-annual Strategy including: • Finalise baselines and review with each department what are feasible indicators to be measured for the next Strategy; • Ensure evaluations pay more attention to disability inclusion. One option is utilising the disability marker in the project appraisal process to provide entry points for evaluators to consider the effectiveness of disability inclusion in projects. This would include analysing if a project’s actual attention to disability issues aligned with the original assessment of the opportunities the project offered for disability inclusion; • Establish a consultation mechanism with the Employee Resource Group on Disability Inclusion to support reflection on the achievements measured by the monitoring system; • Identify approaches to measure progress in field offices, including through regional-based reviews of UNDIS implementation. • Negotiate with Regional Offices and Policy Departments to create new indicators for their disability inclusion work, to ensure accountability at the Department and field level.
