Mugiho Takeshita, at the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), is asking for assistance in gathering information that many Rolling Rains readers may be able to provide for her.
I am working on disabilities issues for UNDP’s Bureau for Crisis Prevention and Recovery. We have been developing a discussion paper for proposing sustainable and comprehensive crisis prevention and recovery approaches for persons with physical and mental disabilities caused by landmines, small arms and violence in conflict and in post-conflict situations, and by natural disasters.Posted by rollingrains at November 6, 2007 01:08 AMFor developing this paper, I would like to know some examples of:
- How countries that signed the CRPD have modified their regulations and laws (including existence of committees working on this); and
- What they have been doing concretely for persons with disability, after the adoption of the CRPD.
We will use the information to include into our discussion paper, mentioned above, which will be circulated inside of UNDP, and possibly to other UN agencies and organizations. We would also like to have your feedback, in case we decide to circulate externally our paper for reviewing.Thank you very sincerely for your support.
Kind regards,
Mugi
