Inclusive social protection systems
In line with the recommendations made in the World Social Protection report 2017-19, the ILO will support the monitoring of target 1.3 of the Sustainable Development Goals by developing, in collaboration with other organizations, the adequate guidance and tools, as well as technical advice to countries that are promoting the inclusion of persons with disabilities in social protection systems, including social protection floors.
Timeframe and/or implementation plan: A global project will allow that by the end of 2020, the ILO, in collaboration, among others, with UNICEF, World Bank and the International Disability Alliance, will have produced and tested the relevant tools and will have provided assistance to at least seven developing countries interested in including persons with disabilities in their social protection systems.
Inclusive environments in the workplace
Building on the achievements of the ILO Global Business and Disability Network, spearhead the promotion of employment of persons with disabilities in the private sector in developing countries through collaboration with national business and disability networks as well as the tripartite constituents of the ILO (Governments, employers’ federations and workers’ associations) and Disabled People’s Organizations.
Timeframe and/or implementation plan: The ILO will mobilise additional resources for the promotion of the private sector employment of persons with disabilities by leveraging strategic partnerships for the achievement of target 8.5 of the Sustainable Development Goals. At country level, the ILO will establish new and strengthen existing national business and disability networks, as well as work with ILO’s tripartite constituency to create more enabling legal and policy environments for the employment of persons with disabilities.
