I am working on:
An independent policy research on the employability of PWDs and groups at risk (immigrants/refugees and long term job seekers) in social economy enterprises of skills development in selected countries (both developed and developing societies). Research includes empirical field work in Canada and hopes to inform policies dealing with vulnerable groups in the labor market especially concerning access/accessibility and safety nets. Concurrently, on volunteer basis, I’m assisting in disability work under READ Institute of Carleton University and Canadian Centre on Disability Studies.

Thanks for the invitation to this timely discussion of good practice and case studies on social farming.
Attached, please find a brief working paper on the financial inclusion of PWDs in relation to social farming. It is a background policy paper that raises some prerequisites to social farming, namely access to credit and financial services. As you know this is a cross-cutting issue in development debate and will probably be raised by different contributors. It is based on my work in Africa 2012-2013.
Kind regards and season’s greetings!

Ps: If you plan to have an expert meeting on the subject at some point, I would be interested in developing this further and making e-presentation.
