<p>Working with disability focused NGOs and disabled people’s organisations (DPOs)
is central to DFID’s work on Disability Inclusion. DFID’s leading programmes for working
with NGOs – UK Aid Direct and UK Aid Match – both include support for disability-focused
organisations. DFID’s flagship programme on girls education – the Girls’ Education
Challenge – has reached over 45,000 girls with disabilities, in part through working
with disability focused organisations such as Leonard Cheshire. DFID continues to
learn from experience of what works in reaching girls with disabilities. For example,
building on the success of the programme in Kenya, Leonard Cheshire are working with
the education ministry to revise the teacher training curriculum and demonstrate to
local education ministries how to support girls with disabilities.</p>
