This paper was developed collaboratively with the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ¡¯s Regional Bureau for Asia and the Pacific based in Bangkok (RBB) between July 2022 and May 2023. The paper responds to a desire by Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ (Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ) to strengthen disability inclusion across its school-based feeding programmes.

This paper aims to address that gap, informed by data collected from interviews with selected Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ staff in the region; desk research focusing on Lao People¡¯s Democratic Republic (PDR) and Nepal; and qualitative research with external stakeholders in Lao PDR (in November 2022) and Nepal (in April 2023). Where available, this paper draws on examples observed during field visits to both Lao PDR and Nepal
