This toolkit provides resources for organisations to support and strengthen grassroots family groups advocating for people with intellectual disabilities.

Developed through collaboration with family leaders in Latin America and sub-Saharan Africa, it offers practical tools and guidance on structuring family groups, developing advocacy strategies, and achieving community-level successes.

The toolkit aims to empower family groups as advocates for inclusion, covering topics such as group organisation, partnership building, and effective local advocacy techniques.

It is designed to help organisations become better partners for family groups and contribute to creating more inclusive communities for people with intellectual disabilities.

The content of this toolkit was created with funding from the World Bank Inclusive Education Initiative.
