Disability Inclusion Strategy
The UNFPA Disability Inclusion Strategy 2022-2025 is a comprehensive plan that integrates disability inclusion into all aspects of the UNFPA’s work, emphasizing the principles of “We Matter, We Belong, We Decide.” It addresses the systemic discrimination faced by nearly one billion people with disabilities worldwide, particularly in developing countries, and aligns with international frameworks like the CRPD and the UNDIS. The strategy focuses on leadership, inclusiveness, programming, and organizational culture, ensuring accessibility, reasonable accommodation, and the active participation of persons with disabilities in decision-making processes. It aims to foster an inclusive work environment, improve data collection on disabilities, and promote equal rights and opportunities, thus contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals by leaving no one behind and reaching the furthest behind.
