A1 Challenges in implementing disability-inclusive budgets begin at the budget formulation stage; decision-makers must understand the most effective way to design budgets. #AXSChat #BillionStrong #RuhGlobal @giz_gmbh
Richard Streitz retweeted
A2 It's important to raise awareness about #identity & #intersectionality and know the various factors that impact #PWD. Witnessing organizations representing PWD promote this shift toward greater understanding is truly remarkable. #AXSChat #BillionStrong #RuhGlobal @giz_gmbh
A3: Key indicators for evaluating disability-inclusive aid include participant accessibility, stakeholder engagement, and measurable outcomes. Methods: Regular surveys, stakeholder feedback, and data analysis. #AXSChat @BerndGiz @debraruh @RuhGlobal @BillionStrong1

A1 integrated budgets can lead to #accessibility and #disability, being forgotten about or undervalued and resourced. Standalone budgets, solve this problem, but do lead to the risk of lack of connection with mainstream projects #AXSChat
A1: For effective disability-inclusive aid: Engage directly with disabled individuals & their orgs, but challenges include representation, accessibility, & cultural differences. #AXSChat @debraruh @RuhGlobal @BillionStrong1
