O
UTLOOK
The framework utilized in this project has been acknowledged as a best practice by our funder, and could be applied to
other countries where there are partners willing to work together. There is a cost related to contributions of
organizations but it would depend on the scale of the project. We feel that inclusive education is more cost effective
than segregation, in terms of immediate financial costs and long-term costs to health and social systems.
