Course Recommendation: Inclusive Humanitarian Assistance for Older People and People with Disabilities

We believe this might be an interesting and valuable course for anyone looking to strengthen their ability to deliver inclusive humanitarian support.

The Comprehensive Accessible Humanitarian Assistance for Older People and People with Disabilities course is a concise, 60-minute online training designed to help humanitarian staff plan and implement responses that are inclusive, safe, and dignified for all—particularly older people and people with disabilities.

Developed by the Age and Disability Capacity Building Programme (ADCAP), the course covers key concepts such as accessibility, universal design, and legal obligations in crisis settings. It is ideal for staff and volunteers at all levels, especially those newer to age and disability inclusion.

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to:

  • Identify the barriers older people and people with disabilities face in emergencies
  • Apply accessibility and universal design in humanitarian response
  • Adapt programmes to ensure inclusive and equitable service delivery

It’s a practical and well-regarded resource to build more inclusive emergency programming.
