Post Conflict Recovery/reconstruction Priorities for People with Disabilities and Older People

Older people and children and adults with disabilities are disproportionately vulnerable and overlooked in post-conflict settings as conflict exacerbates pre-existing disadvantages and they are often left out of post-conflict reconstruction processes. Their inclusion in post-conflict recovery/reconstruction is a neglected area of focus despite the increasing evidence and attention paid to their needs during conflict and humanitarian response. This rapid review looks at the available evidence on priorities for recovery/reconstruction for children and adults with disabilities and older persons from countries recovering from conflict, focusing on the emerging evidence from Ukraine and from post-conflict countries with similar contexts to it.
