Abstract

Cet article constitue une tentative d’analyse de certains manquements qui ont ralenti les efforts menés dans le champ du handicap en Afghanistan. Apres le passage en revue des initiatives récentes, l’article présente les éléments qui ont contribué à limiter leur impact. Le développement des services publics de base est particulièrement difficile dans les Etats fragiles. Afin de surmonter les insuffisances identifiées, les auteurs estiment que l’approche par les capabilités de Amartya Sen offre un cadre d’analyse approprié pour définir une politique du handicap et la mettre en œuvre. Bien que la définition du développement humain ait beaucoup évolué au cours de la dernière décennie, sa traduction dans les faits demeure insuffisante, sans aucun effet visible sur le processus d’élaboration des politiques publiques ni même en terme de bien-être. En s’appuyant sur l’exemple de l’enquête nationale sur le handicap en Afghanistan, les auteurs débattent du besoin de connaissances scientifiques ainsi que des défis posés par un travail de recherche fondé sur l’approche par les capabilités pour définir et mettre en œuvre une politique publique du handicap.European Journal of Development Research (2009) 21, 297–319. doi:10.1057/ejdr.2009.8
