ABSTRACT

Women and Children are the priority group and need to be empowered for their development including family, community and Nation at large. This certainly resolves several challenges of these groups like: gender inequality, bias, violence, crime, marginalization, isolation and any other unhealthy practices. Among the Women and Children, the one having disability and/or associated with disabilities in the family are the most vulnerable and gets low priority including stigma attached.  These groups’ needs should be seen as two faces of the same coin having training and rehabilitation as an empowerment on one side and prevention on the other side. The Training and Rehabilitation Model of Empowerment works with several stages starting from the stage of early identification to empowerment both socially and economically with need based and rights based strategies and interventions with innovation and creativity. These groups’ development gains priority in all the missions of Dream India New India and Global Sustainable Developmental Goals with focus on community based initiatives with availability, accessibility& affordability. NGOs do play a key role in reaching the targeted groups both quantitatively and qualitatively with dominance of bottom up approaches with ownership. The initiatives are need based and impact created in the lives of the targeted group is significant and measurable with improved quality of life. The strategies and initiatives are simple, flexible, scalable, replicable and sustainable matching to the dynamics of the given environment.         

Key words: Women & Children, Isolation, Training, Rehabilitation, Partnership, Empowerment, Sustainability, Inclusion.

ABSTRACT

Parents of the children with special needs are the most affected and worried about their child’s growth, development and future. Among the disability population, Persons with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities are the most marginalized including isolation from the community. Due to various reasons the disability population is facing several challenges and affects the dynamics of the family, community and the Nation. The parents are more depressed in general and particularly in the rural villages and forced to search for better alternatives to cater the needs of their children. The SWOT analysis reflects several challenges of parents and opportunities as a solution with empowerment. Among the challenges, parents are more concerned with “what will happen to the child after us?” At the same time, several opportunities exist to transform these challenges into strengths with matching solutions to develop accessible, empowered, healthy and inclusive environments and thus to enhance the quality of life of the group. Parents have got specific roles to play in the whole process of empowering PWIDDs and to be the role models for other to follow. The Parents Associations and CSOs are working for PWIDDs with the support and guidance of Government. The suggested Integrated Home will work for the better living of PWIDDs and Senior Citizens with better connectivity and support under a single roof. The suggested strategies and interventions are simple, replicable, scalable, and sustainable matching to the dynamics of the given environment.        

Key Words: Vulnerability, Isolation, Training, Rehabilitation, Empowerment, Inclusion, Sustainability, Quality of Life. 

Statement of the Problem

The parents of the Persons with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (PWIDDs) are more worried about their child’s development, better living and to get a solution for their concern that “what will happen to the child after us?”  

Parents / PWIDDs: Parents are more worried with the concern that “what will happen to the child after us?” and look for better home to stay during their life and even when they are no more. In majority of the cases PWIDDs needs the attention, affection and support of elder persons who can stay with them. Managing home with PWIDDs alone will have several challenges and filling such gaps is very problematic.  

Senior Citizens / Homeless: On the other side, the elder persons who are homeless or isolated from the family members (both male and female), and who are with home but always feel isolated look for some younger people to stay and share like an extended family.    

 Recommendations

The concerns of the Parents and PWIDDs are more vulnerable and the recommendations suggested include:

1.  To strengthen PAs and CSOs working for PWIDDs with guidance, mentorship, and matching resources.

2.    To create spaces for PWIDDs at all the levels with effective service delivery systems with accessible technological connectivity.

3.   To develop human resources in special education with priority for PAs and CSOs to run the courses / programmes.

4.      To support PWIDDs for better employment and income generation programmes including micro entrepreneurship.

5.  To develop integrated homes by PAs and CSOs with the support and guidance of Government (Central and State).

GOVERNMENT – PRIVATE - CSO PARTNERSHIP

FOR INCLUSIVE AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

ABSTRACT

The available resources have not reached the targeted people due to the limitation of service delivery systems which are mostly dominated by top down approaches. The Political interest and Private interest are dominating the interest of the Government which is expected to work for the people oriented development. The poor compatibility among these key players gives low priority for people’s interests and concentrates more on their own business oriented interest. The service delivery cost is quite high compared to the benefits delivered to the people and thus lost the basic purpose of development. The challenges with the key players are many and finally affect the development of the people as well as the Nation with vulnerabilities, marginalization, isolation, violence, crime and poor quality of life. The emerged solutions as an opportunity are many to transform the challenges into strengths and thus create positive attitude with environment for healthy and wealthy living with better access, inclusion, and empowerment. The Civil Society Organizations working very near to the people have got opportunity to coordinate the key players with partnership on long term basis. The suggested model is simple and it only needs positive orientation with commitment from all the sectors for creating an opportunity to the common man to access the benefits of the development by living at any corner of the Nation.                   

Key Words: Partnership, Healthy, Inclusion, Access, Development, Sustainability, Quality of Life,

Statement of the Problem

The Service Delivery Systems mostly dominated by top down approaches are unable to cater the needs of the people at grass roots and thus affects their development, sustainability and quality of life. 

Recommendations

To continue the process of people oriented development with better sustainability and quality, recommendations emerged include: 

1. Encourage and Empower the Panchayats with resources to work with innovation and creativity. 

2. Give an opportunity to CSOs for developing themselves as a professional institute and to work on partnership basis.

 3. Priority for the developmental activities / projects which are healthy and wealthy for the people as well as the environment. 

4. Create opportunities for product making, marketing, brand value, and safer disposal. 

5.  Effective mechanism to protect the people and Nation with systems, rights, justice, security, equality, and dignity with better accessibility and affordability.
