The toolkit, co-designed in collaboration with over 300 individuals and 9 organizations, will serve as a vital resource for UNICEF staff, government officials, organizations of persons with disabilities, civil society organizations, youth networks, and even families of children with disabilities, in our collective endeavor to foster a society free from stigma, discrimination, abuse, and neglect.
This package comprises of a user guide, a foundational module and seven thematic modules:
• Module 1: Inclusive evidence generation
• Module 2: Empowering children and youth with disabilities and their families
• Module 3: Understanding and engaging communities
• Module 4: Building disability-inclusive services
• Module 5: Strengthening partnerships for advocacy
• Module 6: SBC for disability inclusion in humanitarian action
• Module 7: Monitoring, Evaluating and Measuring
We have organized each module according to a simple framework that reflects the project cycle: Ready?, Steady…, Set., Go!. The intention is to provide you, the users, with the opportunity to engage with the content, wherever you are in your programming journey. We hope you find the resource useful and inspiring.

New data and evidence highlight the urgency of the situation which demands our collective action.
Globally, there are an estimated 240 million children with disabilities.
That is 1 in every 10 children.
While progress has been achieved with the near-universal ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, children with disabilities continue to face daunting challenges.
They are more likely to experience stunting, to be out of school, to be victims of violence, and to live in poor households.
Children with disabilities are also disproportionately impacted by humanitarian crises and climate change.
inequalities are further magnified by other factors such as gender, location, and ethnicity.
New country data show that families spend up to 80 % more to raise children with disabilities.
Family caregivers, mostly women and adolescent girls, lose out on education and economic opportunities, perpetuating the cycle of gender inequality and poverty.
But solutions exist and efforts to achieve progress are being made.
In recent years, UNICEF supported government efforts across sectors, such as the disability registration system in Cambodia facilitating access to social protection and prioritization for COVID 19 vaccinations, the development of a health insurance package for children with disabilities in the Philippines, inclusive water, sanitation and hygiene infrastructure in Bhutan and Guinea, piloting the inclusive child grant in Madagascar, capacity development for access to assistive technology in Brazil, and inclusion and safe school re-opening post COVID-19 in the Gambia.
Across regions, UNICEF is also supporting children with disabilities and their families during humanitarian crisis, including through cash transfers, provisioning of assistive devices, and accessibility of facilities.
While more children with disabilities are being reached than ever before, much more needs to be done considering the magnitude of the challenges.
With its new Disability Inclusion Policy and Strategy, UNICEF is looking to increase its organizational expenditure on disability inclusion with a target of 10% by 2030, and to increase representation of persons with disabilities among its employees, to 7%, by 2030.
These commitments reflect UNICEF’s unwavering dedication to supporting countries in all contexts to create an inclusive world for every child.
We have a collective responsibility to ensure that no child is left behind.
As we navigate multiple crises, let us not lose the momentum gained in the past decade.
Let us stand together, reaffirm our commitments, increase our investments for disability inclusion, and work tirelessly towards a future where children with disabilities can thrive.

The DIPAS was developed through intensive internal and external consultations, including UN Agencies, governments, Organizations of Persons with Disabilities, and youth with disabilities and it is guided by the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the United Nations Disability Inclusion Strategy (UNDIS).
The vision of the UNICEF DIPAS is a more inclusive world by 2030 where all children, including those with disabilities, live in barrier-free and inclusive communities.
The DIPAS sets out six strategic priorities: prevention of stigma and discrimination; improvement of disability-inclusive services, programmes and workplaces; access to comprehensive community care and support services; access to assistive technology; disability-inclusive action in humanitarian, emergency and fragile contexts; full and meaningful participation of persons with disabilities.
The DIPAS is the roadmap for greater cross-sectoral coordination for disability inclusion to be mainstreamed across the organization at every level to meet the needs of the world’s 240 million children with disabilities.
“UNICEF’s Disability Inclusion Policy and Strategy sets a bold vision and clear targets for the entire Organization to advance disability inclusion. We need YOU – your commitment and actions – to ensure that every child with a disability has the same opportunities as their peers without disabilities. Change starts with me, with you, with all of us.”
Catherine Russell, Executive Director of UNICEF
Under DIPAS UNICEF commits:
1. By 2025, UNICEF will increase, by at least 2 per cent, its organizational budget expenditure, to progressively accelerate disability inclusion across its programmes and operations, in both development and humanitarian action, committing to a target of 10 per cent of total expenditure by the year 2030.
2. By 2025, UNICEF will progressively increase the number of employees with disabilities by at least 2 per cent across all offices, with the aim of reaching 7 per cent representation by 2030.
3. By 2025, all UNICEF regional offices will have at least one dedicated full-time disability specialist for programmes and operations, to coordinate and support disability inclusion in the region.
4. By 2025, 75 per cent of UNICEF staff will have undergone training on disability inclusion.
5. UNICEF will Generate evidence from data insights and research through dedicated capacity (i.e. The Centre of Excellence on Data for Children with Disabilities) to guide programme design and investments.
6. UNICEF will systematically mainstream disability inclusion, specifically of children with disabilities, into media communications and advocacy.
7. By December 2023, UNICEF regional and headquarters Divisional Directors will have developed divisional/regional action plans on DIPAS.yt:video:b8nNl53fwhYb8nNl53fwhYUCWF2LnkIW7Fb5g-TWpe5QuwVoices of children with disabilities, IS, ADUNICEF Children with Disabilitieshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWF2LnkIW7Fb5g-TWpe5Quw2022-06-03T14:38:32+00:002025-06-08T18:50:56+00:00Voices of children with disabilities, IS, ADChildren with disabilities from around the world share their dream.yt:video:h5rwbos2nqsh5rwbos2nqsUCWF2LnkIW7Fb5g-TWpe5QuwGDS 2022 side event: Working together towards inclusive social protection systemsUNICEF Children with Disabilitieshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWF2LnkIW7Fb5g-TWpe5Quw2022-03-28T17:57:49+00:002025-06-06T16:38:11+00:00GDS 2022 side event: Working together towards inclusive social protection systemsGDS 2022 social protection side eventyt:video:SIPvAr5jiqESIPvAr5jiqEUCWF2LnkIW7Fb5g-TWpe5QuwGDS 2022 side event: Monitoring how public budgets contribute to the inclusion of persons with disabUNICEF Children with Disabilitieshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWF2LnkIW7Fb5g-TWpe5Quw2022-03-24T21:34:40+00:002025-06-09T19:02:56+00:00GDS 2022 side event: Monitoring how public budgets contribute to the inclusion of persons with disabAn overview of how organizations of persons with disabilities can monitor and improve public budgeting for equity and inclusion: examples from South America, India, and the Pacific.
