This study centred on three research questions, aiming to 1) shed light on how humanitarian actors mainstream disability, 2) identify the factors that challenge the inclusion of persons with disabilities in the refugee camps and host communities, and 3) evaluate the contribution of strategic partnerships and NGO consortia to a more inclusive humanitarian response. This final part of the report will present the main findings of this study and present recommendations to donors, the Bangladeshi authorities, international humanitarian organizations, national and local NGOs, persons with disabilities, and researchers.
