Inclusive Development Guide

Based on the belief that social inclusion is a human right that achieves a social environment free of physical and moral barriers for all individuals, the Lebanese Wheelchair Union launched a specialized periodical publication entitled “Inclusive Development”, published by the Union’s media unit in cooperation with the Inclusive Development and Self-Advocacy Project, which continued to be published between September 2010 and 2011, as part of the second phase of the project, to promote humanitarian concepts and values that would establish a society committed to ensuring decent conditions for marginalized groups in society, first and foremost persons with disabilities. Eight issues of Inclusive Development were published, from issue zero to issue seven.
