DISABILITY-INDONESIA: Irish Aid-ILO Partnership Programme, Phase II, 2014-15

Disability issues still do not get enough attention in Indonesia. People with disabilities still face discrimination and have limited access especially to employment opportunities, skill development through vocational and rehabilitation training. However, after the ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) in November 2011, some more attention has been given to promoting rights of people with disabilities by the government, international organisations and DPOs. The revision and the drafting of disability related laws is still ongoing both at national and province level. PROPEL Indonesia Phase II will continue to contribute to the development of an enabling legal and policy environment for better employment and training opportunities for persons with disabilities and enhancing awareness and to enhancing the capacity of the constituents to address non-discrimination and barriers to equal employment opportunities for persons with disabilities. In 2014-15, PROPEL – Indonesia will provide technical advice and support to reform current legislation and policies concerning the training and employment of persons with disabilities; organize capacity building for key stakeholders; build awareness of the working capacity, rights and dignity of persons with disabilities, through capacity building of media outlets, including through ILO Disability Equality Training (DET); support the incorporation of disability rights legislation into the curriculum of law faculties; promote access to quality vocational rehabilitation and mainstream vocational training services; support the establishment of mechanism to link job seekers with disabilities and employers; and arrange for the translation and dissemination of relevant publications and practical guides into Bahasa Indonesia
