The seminar will provide a forum for the exchange of knowledge and national experiences in promoting and protecting the rights of persons with disabilities, in rights based approaches to development and the issues of social inclusion, empowerment, institution building, micro-enterprise development and promotion of sustainable livelihoods of persons with disabilities in the mainstream.
The workshop will focus on formulating strategic options for promoting rights based approaches to development and national capacity building.
The meeting will produce as its outcome document a strategic planning framework for advocacy, for formulating and negotiating policy options, and for building national capacities and institutions for the promotion and protection of the rights of persons with disabilities and development-based approaches to advancement of persons with disabilities in the Américas.
It is envisaged that the seminar and workshop outcome would be presented for the consideration of the Ad Hoc Committee at its second session. At the Américas regional level, follow up could include promotion, establishment and development of open and democratic networks to create awareness, exchange knowledge and experience, and promote South-South cooperation in building capacities for rights based approaches to development.
