5.2.6 Further Research
Systematic research on disability-inclusive humanitarian action is scarce. Consequently, a follow-up study in East Africa within the framework of this project will allow for more comparative research on disability-inclusive humanitarian action.
Moreover, researchers should:
- conduct more and longer-term ethnographic and impact studies on disability-inclusive humanitarian action
- document the perceptions of persons with disabilities on their role in humanitarian action
- identify more good practices and lessons learned from research in Cox’s Bazar and other humanitarian crises responses
- develop and carry out a comprehensive review of the degree of compliance with and implementation of the CRPD, the Humanitarian Disability Charter, the IASC Guidelines, the Humanitarian Inclusion Standards and related documents, entailing, at least, a quantitative staff study of disability-focused organizations, OPDs, and other humanitarian organizations at the international level, as well as long-term field studies to understand national and local perceptions and capacities.
