A/HRC/26/24 2. United Nations Partnership to Promote the Rights of Persons with Disabilities 25. Mozambique: UNDP and UNICEF are employing a twin-track approach involving both targeted and mainstreaming interventions. The work undertaken with the National Institute of Statistics is an example of mainstreaming, whereby indicators on issues related to persons with disabilities will be incorporated in a quarterly national survey to improve data collection as a prerequisite for defining more accurate policies and programmes related to persons with disabilities. On the other hand, the collaboration between UNDP, Handicap International and the Rede de Assistência as Vitimas de Minas is a targeted intervention, which seeks to empower the often marginalized group of mine survivors to claim their rights. One of the activities of the project involves the review of the existing legislative and policy framework. 26. South Africa: OHCHR, UNDP and UNICEF are jointly involved with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and UN Women in a programme that was developed by the United Nations country team in collaboration with the Department of Women, Children and Persons with Disability. The programme aims at establishing a Convention compliant legal and policy framework in South Africa. While UNDP is the lead agency and responsible for the overall coordination and technical support of the programme, UNICEF provides technical expertise on issues related to children with disabilities and OHCHR focuses on international legislation and standards on the rights of persons with disabilities. UNFPA and UN Women will fund efforts to acquire technical expertise on the needs for women with disabilities. 27. Togo: The Partnership programme focuses on inclusive education in the Savanes and Kara regions. This joint UNICEF, WHO and OHCHR project started in early 2013. The main legal framework, namely the 2007 Child Code, the 2004 Law on the Social Protection of Persons with Disabilities, and other relevant instruments, such as the 2006 Labour Code and the 1968 Ordinance on the General Statute of Public Servants and strategic documents such as the Education Sector Plan, are being reviewed on their compliance with the international human rights instruments ratified by Togo. Under this programme, Braille and sign language manuals have been developed and tested together with a training manual on inclusive education endorsed by the Ministry of Education in 2012, used for the training of a large number of teachers and administrators. The programme expands on already successful efforts related to the provision of suitable educational opportunities to primary school-aged children with disabilities. This partnership with government and non-governmental organizations will strive to put in place a sustainable collaborative and efficient response to the challenge of providing education for all, including children with disabilities. B. 1. Asia-Pacific OHCHR 28. Cambodia: OHCHR provided technical advice throughout the process of ratification of the Convention, inter alia through translating and publishing the Convention in Khmer and providing support for the drafting of a statement promoting ratification of the Convention, which was presented before Parliament. OHCHR further organized two training sessions for government representatives – on the main features of the Convention and another, more specifically, on reporting under the Convention, with the aim of increasing their awareness on the Government’s responsibilities under the Convention. 29. Papua New Guinea: OHCHR continues to provide technical support to the Department of Community Development and other relevant government bodies on the implementation and domestication of the Convention. 8
