Advocacy for the rights of persons with disabilities and implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) should take place at all levels of decision making. Where policies and laws are adopted, organisations representing persons with disabilities (DPOs) should be meaningfully engaged, in the full process, at every stage and at all levels.
This project report will provide a good overview of the regional sustainable development forums and how they fit with their corresponding regional integration organisations. It will provide examples of where regional advocacy is currently proving effective and make suggestions as to how advocacy messages can be designed to target both the CRPD and SDG implementation.
