Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD)

We have attended several state parties conferences in New York on the convention on rights of persons with disabilities. In addition to getting involved in preparation of reports by our country on the implementation of CRPD, we have been lobbying for more action globally on allocation of more resources to implement the convention through international cooperation. 

The convention was instrumental in our lobbying during development of constitution in 2010 whereby we got several articles included which were favourable to the rights of persons with disabilities in our country.
