United Nations Disability Inclusion Strategy - Putting Words Into Action
The "UN Disability Inclusion Strategy - Putting Words into Action" is a unique self-paced learning module developed by the Disability Team of the Executive Office of the Secretary General in close cooperation with the UN System Staff College. The objective of this module is to help you develop a disability-inclusive mindset and take action to promote disability inclusion in your day-to-day work.
The UN Disability Inclusion Strategy (UNDIS), adopted by the Secretary General in 2019, provides the foundation for sustainable and transformative progress on disability inclusion through all pillars of the work we do in the UN.
It enables the UN system to support the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and other international human rights instruments, as well as the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, the Agenda for Humanity and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.
Apart from providing you with an introduction to the United Nations Disability Inclusion Strategy (UNDIS), this module also covers key concepts and approaches related to disability inclusion. By deepening your understanding of these key concepts and approaches, you will be able to identify and take specific actions for the implementation of the UN Disability Inclusion Strategy in your area of expertise.
This self-paced course combines dynamic learning methods with a scenario-based quiz to allow you to experience how disability inclusion might look like in practice.
