On 18 May 2026, National Federation of the Disabled Nepal (NFDN) conducted a one-hour orientation session on Disability Inclusive Development  for more than 80 staff members of Plan International Nepal, representing both federal and provincial teams. The orientation was held at the Plan International Nepal Office, Lalitpur.

The session was facilitated by Mr. Manoj Gohiwar, Head of Programme at NFDN, using an interactive, reflective and deconstructive approach. Through this approach, the session encouraged participants to critically reflect on how disability is often created not only by individual impairment, but also by barriers in systems, attitudes, infrastructure, communication, policies, budgets and institutional practices.

The orientation covered key concepts and practical approaches related to disability models, Disability Creation Process, human rights-based development, reasonable accommodation, accessibility, inclusive budgeting, procurement, monitoring, staffing, communication, safeguarding and partnership with Organizations of Persons with Disabilities. The session emphasized that persons with disabilities are rights-holders, leaders, staff, partners, community members and beneficiaries, and that inclusive development requires deliberate design, budget, access, participation and accountability.

The room has a modern office aesthetic with white walls, drop-ceiling panel lights, and audio-visual equipment.

Following the interactive session delivered by Mr. Gohiwar, Ms. Jalasa, Senior Project Coordinator, summarized the key learning points and reinforced the importance of mainstreaming disability inclusion throughout the programme cycle, including analysis, design, budgeting, implementation, monitoring, evaluation and learning.

The key message of the session was:
Disability inclusion is not an add-on; it is a core quality standard for every programme.

NFDN appreciated the active participation of Plan International Nepal’s federal and provincial staff and looks forward to continued collaboration for strengthening disability-inclusive policies, programmes, operations and institutional systems.
