About Making it Work

In all countries of the world there are many examples of innovative projects and good practices that have achieved real impact in addressing the exclusion and discrimination experienced by people with disabilities.

Understanding these good practices (how they were achieved, how they apply to specific contexts and how they can be replicated or scaled-up) is really essential to the effective implementation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities ~ i.e. to making the CRPD work!

Making it Work is a methodology for researching and documenting good practices on key disability issues, and then using this evidence to carry out effective advocacy.

The methodology is straight-forward:  it can be used to develop projects on any disability issue, in any country, at any level, by all types of organizations. Indeed many organizations throughout the world are now using this approach. This website offers a platform to share their good practice research and recommendations.  It also contains information, tools and resources to help other organizations get involved.
