ADC supports SOCIEUX+'s knowledge management efforts

16 April 2025

Last Thursday and Friday, ADC's Executive Director, Federico Martire, and Senior Disability Inclusion Expert, Janina Arsenjeva, attended the Kick-off seminar of SOCIEUX+ e-course ‘Labour market inclusion for Persons with Disabilities in low- and middle-income countries’ held at ENABEL's headquarters in Brussels, Belgium.

The workshop marked the beginning of the initiative. ADC has been trusted with the preparation of the course's content, a recognition of our company's experience in the field of disability rights and inclusion in international cooperation settings.

More than just a get together

The seminar was not a mere meet-and-greet. Participants from SOCIEUX+'s consortium members (namely, Expertise France, ENABEL, and FIAP) and invited guests from ILO and the Belgian government, worked alongside Federico and Janina to deconstruct and rebuild the concept of disability inclusion in the labour market. The aim? To lay the ground for a useful and accessible e-course aiming to reinforce the capacity of public institutions to embed a disability-inclusive approach to employment policies and practices.

Building upon and expanding SOCIEUX+'s experience

SOCIEUX+ is an EU co-financed facility that brings European expertise in the field of social protection, labour, and employment to countries across the globe, on the demand of partner institutions. Over the course of the years, the programme has accumulated a significant amount of knowledge and experience: this will represent the basis of ADC's work for the development of the e-Course. But there's more: a robust human rights-based approach will be applied, alongside experiences and good practices from the Global South that can pinpoint the path to inclusion in employment.

And now? Next steps

Following workshop, ADC consulting team will w ork to review SOCIEUX+'s actions in the field of disability inclusion, finetune the definition of the target groups, and work to ensure accessibility and inclusivity throughout the course.
