A/HRC/16/38 Convention for Government, the national human rights institutions and civil society. Currently, implementation is supported by the same team. In Egypt, a United Nations Joint Programme – consisting of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), WHO, ILO and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) – is providing technical assistance to the Government and works with experts from the region on the development of a National Action Plan for the implementation of the Convention. UNDP has been supporting the Government of Albania – which has signed but not ratified the Convention – in aligning its National Strategy to Convention standards. National capacity has been strengthened regarding access to employment, inclusive education, access to quality support services, independent living in the community and accessibility to the environment and to ICT. 28. In Burkina Faso, UNICEF and Handicap International supported the Government in developing a National Policy Framework on Disability and a three-year programme strategy in 2009. In Montenegro, a partnership of national and international actors comprised of the Government, UNICEF, UNDP and the European Union, a comprehensive project on social inclusion has been developed26. In Ukraine, the ILO, UNDP and the Government cooperated to implement a project in the Ukraine to promote inclusive employment services through access to Employment, co-funded by UNDP and ILO. In Haiti, OHCHR led the Protection Cluster in where it – in cooperation with Handicap International and other actors – advocated for mainstreaming disability issues into all phases of the disaster relief and reconstruction process. 29. UNDP organized the Second Regional Workshop on Persons with Disabilities – the Role of UNDP in Montenegro in April 2009. The workshop aimed at exchanging information on inclusive programming and at exploring potential for joint programming. It brought together UNDP Country Office Focal Points for persons with disabilities from the Western Balkans and the UNDP Bratislava Regional Center, as well as OHCHR, UNICEF, UNHCR, and national stakeholders from Montenegro. UNDP is also supporting the Arab Organization for Disabled People (ADOP)27 in promoting a dialogue amongst activists, media and government officers over the Convention. OHCHR has carried out capacitybuilding and awareness-raising activities on the Convention, for example in Yaoundé, in November 2010: the seminar aimed at promoting ratification of the Convention in the Central African region and was attended by governmental authorities, representatives of national human rights institutions, national parliaments and civil society organizations. 30. With a view to ensuring that United Nations efforts related to the Convention are consistent and complementary, the Inter-Agency Support Group (IASG) on the Convention28 has sought to coordinate United Nations efforts in support of the Convention and has recently developed a Guidance Note for United Nations Country Teams (UNCTs) and implementing partners on Including the rights of persons with disabilities in United Nations programming at country level within the framework of the United Nations Development Group29. The Guidance Note is intended to help UNCTs and implementing partners to mainstream the rights of persons with disabilities in United Nations country 26 27 28 29 10 See submission of UNICEF at www2.ohchr.org/english/issues/disability/docs/study/UNICEF.doc.
