AbilityAP represents the ILO's Disability Programme in Asia and the
Pacific. The programme promotes basic human rights and training and
employment opportunities for people with disabilities. Our
activities can be organized around building a knowledge base,
advocacy and technical cooperation.
Knowledge:
The ILO efforts to
build a knowledge base includes conducting research, e.g., see the
Regional Research Project on Laws and Policies in Regional
Activities; identifying good practice examples (e.g. see Moving
Forward toward Decent Work for People with Disabilities---Examples
of Good Practices in Vocational Training and Employment from Asia
and the Pacific in the Publications section); and
disseminating information (e.g., see
Publications section).
Advocacy:
The ILO advocates for
decent work for people with disabilities through its conventions,
recommendations and codes of practice, and through it activities to
promote and implement national laws and policies that are in line
with ILO standards. For example, see the Promoting Employability and
Employment for People with Disabilities through Effective
Legislation (PEPDEL) project, in Regional Activities.
Technical
Cooperation:
The ILO technical
cooperation activities include, designing and implementing projects
(e.g., see the Alleviating Peer Training project in Cambodia),
providing training for constituents (e.g., see activities with the
China Disabled Persons Federation in China), and sponsoring
workshops, meetings conferences, and symposia (e.g., see the ILO
Expert Group Meeting on Inclusion of People with Disabilities in
Vocational Training).
These Web pages describe the most current ILO activities in the
region and in individual countries where we have worked.
