1. Background
1.1 About Humanity & Inclusion
Handicap International which runs program under its operating name Humanity & Inclusion (hereafter referred to as HI) is an independent and impartial international aid organisation working in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. Working alongside people with disabilities and other vulnerable groups, our action and testimony are focused on responding to their essential needs, improving their living conditions and promoting respect for their dignity and their fundamental rights. HI is a non-profit making association founded in 1982, currently implementing projects in almost 50 countries worldwide.
HI started working in Thailand in 1984 and first focused its actions on the delivery of mobility and assistive devices to Thai and Burmese landmine victims, most of whom needed lower limb prostheses. Since 1998, the scope of work was broadened to promote also provision of physiotherapy and occupational therapy services as well as assistive device technologies to persons with disabilities and facilitating their access to health, education and economic activities within the temporary shelters. Since 2012, HI also started activities on risk education covering dangers related to landmines and unexploded ordinance to contribute to the overall protection and prevention on disability. HI Thailand is part of the HI regional Myanmar-Thailand program which was created in 2016 with the merge of 2 existing missions.

1.2 Context in which the consultancy takes place
Thailand has a long-standing history in receiving refugees from neighbouring countries even though Thailand is not a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention or its 1967 Protocol and does not have a formal national asylum framework. Myanmar refugees have been hosted on the Thai-Myanmar border for over three decades. Currently, about 90,000 displaced persons live in nine temporary shelters.
HI currently carries out activities along the Thai-Myanmar border under 4 thematic areas:
- Community-based Rehabilitation: provision of functional rehabilitation services for people with disabilities in 5 camps (Tak and Mae Hong Son provinces),
- Disability and Social Inclusion (DSI): social inclusion of people with disabilities and mainstreaming disability into humanitarian services and advocacy in 5 camps (Tak and Mae Hong Son provinces),
- Inclusive early child development (Growing Together!) through play, support to partners and cohesion in 7 camps (Tak and Mae Hong Son provinces),
- Mine Risk Education (MRE): raising awareness activities on the risk of mines and explosive remnants of war (ERW) in all 9 temporary shelters (Tak, Mae Hong Son, Ratchaburi and Kanchanaburi provinces).
