Disability in the post-2015 agendaThe post-2015 consultations and discussions in the Open

Working Group have shown strong consensus on the need to

address inequalities, adopt non-discriminatory policies and

ensure the rights and participation of persons with disabilities.

The Way ForwardLet us keep in mind that:

The role of a global agenda is to provide a global norm and an advocacy tool to drive commitments towards issues related to disabilities

Development however takes place in each and every country. Unless effective policies are in place to drive the structural transformation leading to development and awareness of issues related to disabilities, equal opportunities for people with disabilities will continue being an elusive goal
