Abstract: This paper reviews the work of Sweden's International Aid for Solidarity and Humanity (SHIA), and umbrella association of Swedish organizations of people with disabilities, and derives lessons, and good practices on disability-related activities. SHIA emphasizes supporting human rights, while supporting better lives through investments. It accomplishes this in part, by working closely with local organizations of people with disabilities; SHIA's strategy is to empower such organizations, and thereby to empower people with disabilities. The paper demonstrates that effective partnerships are possible, outlining the challenges of such partnerships, and the need to focus on technical assistance. Recommendations for the World Bank provide possible directions for Bank involvement in disability work.
