Evaluation Study for Motivation India
Shodhana is currently engaged in an evaluation study for Motivation India, the India chapter of Motivation UK. Motivation India, (MI) was established in 2011 as a public charitable trust and a disability-focused non-profit committed to upholding the World Health Organization (WHO) “Guidelines on the Provision of Manual wheelchairs in Less Resourced Settings”. MI has achieved this by creating a cadre of wheelchair clinicians and technicians through inducting them with adequate training based on the WHO capacity building modules that follow the WHO’s 8 step service provision approach. These clinicians and technicians through the wheelchair clinics provide wheelchair services to the wheelchair users in their vicinity. The main role of these wheelchair clinics is to assist users to choose the most appropriate wheelchair, to ensure that it is adjusted or modified to suit their individual needs, to train users, and to provide follow-up and maintenance services. In addition to this, MI also works for promoting the social inclusion of persons with mobility impairment by facilitating their access to education, health services, employment, providing livelihood opportunities, and empowering them to fulfill their potential. Since its inception, MI has provided over 18,000 WHO-compliant appropriate wheelchairs (including sports wheelchairs), across the country, and particularly from 2017, MI has made available nearly 5000 WHO compliant appropriate wheelchairs to the persons with mobility impairment keeping in mind the ergonomy and comfort of the user. These were given to the end-users through their partner organizations. To that extent, MI has been able to create a network of government institutions as well as non-government organizations through their partner organizations. This has enabled the program to reach the grass-root beneficiaries.
The evaluation study envisages evaluating the effectiveness of these wheelchair clinics, the development of human resources in consonance with individual needs vis-à-vis the technology, effectiveness of capacity building programs in facilitating the delivery mechanism of partner organizations, and reach out both at the level of crises or even its regular maintenance.
