Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, whether her Department's country offices are encouraged to seek the views and input of people with disabilities in the design and delivery of their programmes.

DFID recognises the importance of people with disabilities having influence in the programmes and decisions which affect them. In DFID country offices, stakeholder engagement and participation, including with people with disabilities, is a fundamental part of strategic decision making and programme management.
