A/HRC/16/38 cooperation related to the Convention and to identify challenges and best practices. The rest of this subsection provides some examples of international cooperation in partnership with United Nations agencies while the following subsection focuses on regional-level cooperation. 23. The International Labour Organization (ILO) applies a “tripartite-plus approach” in cooperating with and supporting governments, social partners and DPOs. It is involved, for example, in the Promoting the Employability and Employment of People with Disabilities through effective Legislation (PEPDEL) project, which is active in China, Ethiopia, Uganda, Tanzania, Thailand, Viet Nam and Zambia. The project strengthens national capacity, building tools to increase capacity of constituents regarding law-making and policy design, as well as strengthening implementation. Supported by the PEPDEL project, a Centre for Disability Law and Policy (CDLP) has been established at the University of the Western Cape, South Africa, to act as a regional resource of information on disability rights. The University carries out research and organizes training courses, and it will offer a Master’s course in disability law and policy from 2011. 24. The ILO, in cooperation with the Irish Aid Partnership Programme, has implemented the technical cooperation programme Promoting Decent Work for People with Disabilities through a Disability Inclusion Support Service (INCLUDE) since 2008. The project is ongoing in Cambodia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Laos, Uganda, Tanzania, Viet Nam and Zambia and aims to bring about greater inclusion of women and men with disabilities in mainstream small enterprise development, microfinance, vocational training, employment promotion, poverty reduction and rural development programmes through sensitizing policymakers and service providers to disability rights and through changing attitudes to persons with disabilities through disability equality training. 25. The World Health Organization (WHO) was actively involved in the first Asia Pacific Congress on Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR), held in Bangkok in February 2009. It brought together representatives of CBR projects in 51 countries to foster information sharing, research and development on CBR. The WHO Regional Office for the Western Pacific developed a Regional Framework for Action on CBR, which contains recommendations for key areas identified in the Bangkok Declaration issued at the Congress. The WHO Pacific Islands Mental Health Network (PIMHnet) brings together 16 nations to work on advocacy, human resources and training, mental health policy, planning, legislation, and service development. PIMHnet has forged strategic partnerships with NGOs and other regional agencies to reduce the existing fragmentation of activities for mental health and address the treatment gap. 26. In the first semester of 2009, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) facilitated two meetings of a Stakeholder’s Platform between rights-holders and representatives from organizations of persons with sensory disabilities in order to explore how best to increase the access of persons with sensory disabilities to documents. The Platform includes stakeholders from different regions and encompasses three working subgroups, on trusted intermediaries, technology and capacity building. One of the major achievements of the Platform so far has been the preparation of a Pilot Project of Trusted Intermediaries to facilitate the cross-border transfer of copyright works in accessible formats among various national institutions serving the blind and visually impaired community. Another area of international cooperation is the current negotiation of a new treaty led by WIPO on copyrights exemptions to allow access to copyrighted contents by persons with disabilities via digital means. 27. Submissions also revealed cooperation delivered through international organizations at the country level. In Moldova, the United Nations Country Team has prioritized assistance to implement the Convention: before the State ratified the Convention in July 2010, an inter-agency team worked on clarifying the conceptual and legal elements of the 9
