ADCAP is a three-year programme that aims to strengthen the capacity of humanitarian agencies to deliver age and disability inclusive emergency response

ADCAP is funded by the DFID Disasters and Emergencies Preparedness Programme (DEPP) as well as USAID’s Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA). The programme will develop resources including a set of minimum standards on age and disability inclusion, e-learning and face to face training, on how to include older people and persons with disabilities in humanitarian programmes. It will also support humanitarian actors to design and deliver inclusive and needs based humanitarian assistance through funding eight Age and Disability Inclusion Advisors embedded in different humanitarian organisations in Pakistan, Kenya and the UK. The programme will further collect and disseminate evidence on successful mainstreaming approaches.
