ACCESO A EMPLEO DIGNO PARA PERSONAS CON DISCAPACIDAD EN EL PERÚ

In Peru, the recent implementation of public interventions has shown that local governments have a strong potential to fight prejudices and misconceptions about the capabilities of persons with disabilities. When provided with sufficient technical training and support, and assuring public funding is available, they can play a key role matching supply and demand for employment of people with disabilities. The Joint Program develops two new tools of public policies to facilitate the full involvement of municipalities: (i) A gender-sensitive management model for local governments to promote and enable access to employment for persons with disabilities (Tool Box); and, (ii) A Results-Oriented Budgetary Program (ROBP) to promote gender-sensitive employment for persons with disabilities. By counting with these tools, local governments will have both new programmatic and a financial tool to comply with current legislation, while setting the basis for scaling-up interventions in this area.
