IDA and the International Disability and Development Consortium, with support of...
In collaboration with United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), IDA is undertaking a project to contribute to the promotion and inclusion of the rights of youth with disabilities in international human rights and development frameworks, in order to ensure that youth with disabilities are meaningfully involved in and are in a position to benefit from programmes and policies related to the implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Main goals
1. Issues relating to the rights of youth with disabilities—in particular sexual and reproductive health and prevention of sexual and gender-based violence—receive exposure within relevant international human rights and development normative frameworks as well as within wider youth movements
2. Youth with disabilities share information and engage with the wider disability movement
The project provides support for youth with disabilities from all regions and disability constituencies to engage in UN processes, and requires commitment before, during and after events. In some cases, certain prerequisites (region, age, gender, experience) may be stated.
