Richmond, Australia CBM Australia Full time

**Call for EOIs: Research into the intersection of ageism and ableism in development and humanitarian response**:
**About us**:
At CBM Australia is a Christian organisation empowering compassionate Australians to end the cycle of poverty and disability. Through our programs, technical advice, and advocacy, we help millions of people transform their lives each year. As Australia’s only international development organisation focused on disability inclusion our work improves the quality of life of people with disabilities living in the poorest countries.

Partnering with local organisations we build and promote an inclusive world in which all people with disabilities enjoy their human rights and achieve their full potential.

**About the research**:
This research is collaboration between CBM Australia and Fred Hollows Foundation.

Globally, older people with disabilities have been identified as experiencing intersectional marginalisation and discrimination. There has been little analysis of how development and humanitarian programming and policy account for and address the intersection of ableism and ageism, and a lack of guidance to inform an intersectional approach to programming and policy.

This research will centre on the intersection between ageism and ableism, elucidating how older people with disabilities may experience marginalisation and discrimination and how development and humanitarian programs and policies may perpetuate this. It will take a rights-based approach - focusing on existing barriers to equal participation and cases of discrimination and exclusion faced by older people with disabilities - and is intended to be generative and provide space for further research and discovery.

The report will be disseminated among development agencies, NGOs and other actors implementing development and humanitarian programs. It will also form the basis for consideration and development of advocacy strategies toward development actors in order to drive more inclusive intersectional approaches and effective development and humanitarian outcomes.

Further details, including a desired timeframe, a contained in the Terms of Reference.
