Guidelines for Preparation of Country Participation Papers
Participants invited to the meeting on the project budget will prepare a brief
participation paper on national policies, norms and standards on rights of persons with
disabilities in the context of development. Special attention should be directed to the
role of disability norms and standards and the promotion of sustainable livelihoods,
social services and safety nets for persons with disabilities in the mainstream. It is
expected that the review and analysis component of participation papers will be in three
main sections:
(1) General background on national policies and role of relevant disability norms and
standards in the promotion of sustainable livelihoods for persons with disabilities in the
mainstream;
(2) Overview of the national situation as this concerns awareness and application of
rights based approaches to development in the promotion of sustainable livelihoods, social
services and safety nets for persons with disabilities in the mainstream;
(3) Review and analysis of issues and trends in rights based approaches to development;
success indicators identified and description of further action envisaged.
The paper would also include a forward looking component and consider issues related to
building national capacities for rights based approaches to development, and elements of
participatory empowerment strategies to promote full and effective involvement of persons
with disabilities as development agents and beneficiaries.
