Destigmatizing disabilities?: Evidence from a disability-inclusive anti-poverty program in Uganda

Abstract: Persons with disabilities are disproportionately excluded from livelihood opportunities. This exclusion traps persons with disabilities and their households in perpetual poverty. I study whether a programme that simultaneously strengthens the ultra-poor's productive, financial, human, and social assets alleviates this exclusion. The programme features adaptations of a previously successful, multifaceted program to make it disability-inclusive.
