DRF –Government Workshop Consultation on UN CRPD & Disability Bill

The Fiji Disabled Peoples Federation together with its affiliates  conducting a consultation mainly focuses on advocating within the government stakeholders and emphasizing the importance of mainstreaming disability issues & considering that persons with disabilities should have the opportunities to be actively involved in decision making processes about policies & programmes including those directly concerning them. The convention is basically concentrated for people with disabilities and their equal participation at all level of society.

The consultation were  attended by the representative of Fiji Police Force, Ministry of Health, Judicial Department, Nausori Registrar of Birth & Marriage, Commissioner Central Office, Land Transport Authority, Fire Authority, Provincial Administrator , Ministry of Employment Productivity & Industrial Relation, Ministry of Lands & Mineral Resource and Ministry of Local Government, Housing & Environment. We anticipate that this consultation will act as catalyst to provide high disability inclusive practices to all but more specifically to people with disabilities.
