This chapter examines the interplay between global legal and policy frameworks, such as the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and their adaptation to local conditions by local actors, particularly within the context of Community-Based Inclusive Development (CBID). It addresses the evolving concept of ‘the local’ in CBID, highlighting how its meaning has shifted over decades and emphasising the importance of understanding local development paths in current CBID implementation debates. Disability at the local level is explored from two perspectives: as a legal construct within state frameworks and as a socio-spatial marker of difference. The chapter investigates how global frameworks engage with these perspectives at the local level. The concept of ‘collective learning’ is introduced as a theoretical lens for understanding the local implementation of global policy provisions. Situating CBID initiatives within this perspective, the chapter posits that CBID, in its local pursuit of disability rights, equal opportunities, and full participation for people with disabilities through a multisectoral approach, involves a complex political negotiation process in shared local spaces where stakeholders with diverse interests and life concepts converge.
