Additional resources and implementation
Our organization is committed to partner with the government and private sector institutions with the purpose of ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education at all levels. In this context, we continue working in harmony with relevant stakeholders to provide equal opportunities and freedom from exclusion to PWDs and to have an effective access to general technical and vocational guidance programs, placement services and vocational and continuing training as outlined in CRPD article 27.

Inclusive social protection systems
Our organization will continue promoting inclusive social protection to persons with disabilities on an equal basis with others, and that social protection floors and systems take the specific requirements of PWDs into account in defining benefits.  We are determined to propagate further the right of attainment of decent work by PWDs on equal basis with others, and to ensure the enjoyment of this entitlement as beneficiaries and benefactors.

Join Global Partnership for Assistive Technology
We are strongly committed to enhancing reliable, comparable and disaggregated data and information, with a view to breaking the cycle of exclusion, particularly in areas of education, employment, health and social protection. Such data and information are also necessary to help policymakers to recognize the rights of PWDs to work on an equal basis with others, and to work in a labour market and environment that is open, inclusive and acceptable to PWDs.

Sign up to the Inclusive Data Charter
We are highly engaged in proactive programs for achieving gender equality and empowerment of women and girls (SDG 5).  To realize this goal, we must adhere to the CRPD articles relating to: recognition that women and girls are subjected to multiple discrimination, violence and exploitation; effectuating women- and child-focused policies and legislation supporting their economic and social wellbeing; their rights to participate in political and public life; their reproductive health and civic rights.
