The Programme
The proposed programme seeks to advance the following rights for persons with different forms of disability, especially marginalized groups of persons with disabilities, in particular women and girls:
- the right to equality and non-discrimination;
- the right to freedom from violence;
- participation in decision making; and
- rights to physical and mental integrity.
In line with the CRPD, the programme seeks to trigger structurally focused action and the full and effective participation of stakeholders including diverse OPDs (in particular more marginalised groups including women and youth), government, and UN agencies to promote and sustain gender-sensitive disability-inclusive development in URT.
Approach
By capacitating stakeholders with knowledge, skills, resources, tools; strengthen systems and platforms to participate fully and effectively in the design, monitoring and evaluation of inclusive national legal and policy reform and SDG processes; improve diversity and representation of underrepresented groups of persons with disabilities (in particular women and marginalized groups), and strengthen plans for prevention and response to VAWC, by using already available institutional mechanisms, the programme will leave a sustainable pathway to change and greater national alignment with global norms and standards on disability inclusion and gender equality.
