2.
Local Government provided Identity cards- Four types of card
Red Card- Severe disability who even cannot perform with other’s assistance
Green Card- Those who can perform their daily work with the help of others.
Yellow- Those who can perform their daily work without any assistance from others
White- Minor disability, like part of limbs not work properly. They can perform their life
on their own.
Why has this identification method(s) been selected?

There is a belief that the doctors can only identify the functional ability of different part
of body. So, they are supposed as the only authorized person for the screening. –
authorized government system- and doctors are the authorized
person!
3.
Who does the identification?

Mostly the government organizes the screening camps however some other organizations
(I/NGOs) also support for this where the government take a lead role.
BUC has conducted some eye screening camps in collaboration with
Fattebal Eye Hospital Nepalgunj!
4.
What is the capacity of relevant stakeholders when it comes to identification of persons with
disabilities?



The government has policy for the screening of the disable people. Likewise, there is
social protection schemes provisioned under the policy for based on the severity of
disability.
Government has authority to allocate resources for this and they also have comparatively
large amount of resource available with them now.
There is a structure named “Disable coordination committee” at the local government
level
Disable Network
5.
What is the greatest challenges you face with regards to identification? How will you go
about meeting this challenge?
Challenges




Lack of willingness of the local decision making bodies to carry out this type activities,
The doctors rarely available at the remote area,
There is no any simplified tools and technics so that other non-technical person can do
the assessment,
The local authorities seem reluctant for the identification as they may need to think about
and plan for the further support once some is identified. There is no any referral
mechanism set in place.

What is the data you are using as reference for prevalence of disability in your respective
country?



7.
Regular advocacy with the local government to follow their policy and carry out
screening camps,
Stakeholder mapping and set referral mechanism
Country conducts census survey once in 10 years where we can find the statistics of
disable people.
Some other organizations conduct research in their project area which can also be the
source of our data as well,
We can also find the statistics in the government data which they collects from the
school, (Education Management Information System-EMIS)
Are challenges in identification the same across all outcomes? If no, what are the
differences?
Same

Can some of the approaches done be replicated for other parts of the programme to make it
more inclusive?


5.
Some resource schools are available in the project area
Social protection policy is in place and local government have authority to make

Policy guides to establish disability help desk at each local government office,
NGOs like Plan are working the field of disability
Lack of proper identification

What can be done to remove these barriers?





Awareness and empowerment,
Timely identification,
Special provision for the disable people,
People friendly structures,
Providing need base assistance/support
Resource mobilization
1.
Are additional resources (humanitarian/financial/technical etc.) required in order to address
the points above? What support would you like/need from NNO?



2.
Yes, we have not planned for screening camps and provision of assistive devices our
project. If we plan for this, this may force use to reduce the target in RFW. So, additional
resources is required.
Plan Nepal team requires technical orientation for identification and providing support to
the disable people,
Separate additional classes and Vocational trainings may requires for them as they cannot
move or learn equally with others.
How can the necessary additional resources best be planned into the updated budget for
2022?
Keeping them as the priority stakeholder for the project.
