Reducing stigma in inclusive programming

Guidance and support for Sightsavers staff, partners and others who want to strengthen their approach to stigma reduction in disability inclusive programmes.

How to use the guidance

This guidance is structured so you can use the sections to inform both yourself and partners. Each section contains discussion points and simple activities that can be carried out with partners.

All sections of the guidance are listed in the navigation toolbar at the top of every page. Use this to jump quickly between sections and pages.

On first reading, we recommend you start at section 1, ‘Context and background’, and work through all sections in numerical order. This will provide a full overview of the key elements and connections between the sections.
