In a world where emergencies and disasters are all too common, ensuring the safety and inclusion of every member of society becomes paramount. Recognizing this, the World Food Programme (WFP) Regional Bangkok Bureau commissioned a study aimed at understanding the extent of inclusion and participation of persons with disabilities in its emergency preparedness and response programming in Indonesia and the Philippines as a basis to develop a practice guide for WFP offices globally.
