New publication: Accessible Sanitation and Disability-Inclusive Employment in Nigeria and Bangladesh

Hi everyone,
We're delighted to share this new Working Paper written by colleagues at the Institute of Development Studies, Leonard Chesire, Sightsavers and other organisations.
This paper explores the relationship between accessible sanitation and disability-inclusive employment in Bangladesh and Nigeria.
Both countries have sanitation and hygiene challenges as well as disability-inclusive employment challenges, but the existing evidence on the intersection of these issues that is focused on Nigeria and Bangladesh is extremely limited. Building on the literature where this complex issue is addressed, this paper presents the findings of a qualitative pilot study undertaken in Nigeria and Bangladesh. It focuses on the need for toilets at work that are easy for people with disabilities to use in poor countries.
These are sometimes called accessible toilets. Accessible sanitation is not regarded as a challenge that must be addressed by people with disabilities themselves, but as a challenge that must be addressed by many people working together – including governments, employers, and the community.

If you found this interesting or useful, please do let us know!
Thanks and best wishes,
Alice
