The National Strategy for Persons with Disabilities 2010-2015

This strategy observes the rights-based approach stipulated by international conventions, charters and national laws. Moreover, it depends on the social responsibility of the private sector, as a strategic partner, in providing services. This strategy also observes the principle of gender and equality between men and women, given that women with disabilities are among the most marginalized groups subject to double discrimination. The strategy also stresses the Council’s responsibility in following up on other vulnerable groups, including, orphans with disabilities, those with psychological disabilities, and/or severe or multiple disabilities, and persons with autism and landmine survivors.
