What I'm looking for

I'm looking to strengthen disability-inclusive humanitarian responses by making feedback and complaints mechanisms accessible and using community input to inform decisions.

I focus on disability inclusion in humanitarian coordination, helping ensure affected populations can shape humanitarian response.

I advocate for using data from complaints and feedback mechanisms as an important source of information for responses that are relevant to and accepted by affected populations.

I emphasize equal opportunities for persons with disabilities to provide feedback and make complaints.

I encourage partners to explain how their feedback and complaints mechanisms are accessible to people with hearing, visual, intellectual, and other disabilities.
