Background |

The United Nations Partnership on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNPRPD) is a unique collaborative effort that brings together UN entities, governments, disabled people’s organizations and the broader civil society to advance the human rights of persons with disabilities around the world. The UN entities participating in the UNPRPD are the International Labour Organization (ILO), the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), the United Nations Department for Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization (UNESCO), the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women), the World Health Organization (WHO). The UNDP Inclusive Political Processes Team serves as the Technical Secretariat for the Partnership. The UNPRPD also works closely with multiple civil society organizations including the International Disability Alliance (IDA) and the International Disability and Development Consortium (IDDC). The UNPRPD is supported by the UNPRPD Fund, a Multi-Partner Trust Fund (MPTF) established to mobilize resources for the Partnership. The UNPRPD MPTF is administered by the UNDP Multi-Partner Trust Fund Office (MPTF Office) and builds on the experience developed by the MPTF Office in managing multiple Multi-Partner Trust Funds and joint programmes around the world. Since 2012, the UNPRPD has funded over 40 country level joint UN programmes worldwide to support CRPD implementation as well as 5 regional initiatives to strengthen the voices of persons with disabilities, and 8 global initiatives to develop strategic resources on the rights of persons with disabilities. In June 2020 the Policy Board approved the new Strategic Operational Framework (2020-2025) has been approved. The new Strategic Operational Framework outlines the three strategic approaches to support countries to develop and implement, policies, plans, budgets, programmes and services with the meaningful participation of OPDs in line with their CRPD commitments and SDGs. While country-level joint programming is UNPRPD’s core focus and consists of the majority of UNPRPD’s funds, it will be supported by two additional strategic approaches, ensuring that activities will be mutually supportive. Context relevant capacity building on inclusive systems and policies and knowledge management and lessons learned. The Knowledge Management strategic approach will draw on programmatic experience, systems and tools that capture knowledge and evidence on CRPD implementation methods, approaches, and practices on systemic structural interventions at country level to address gaps in technical knowledge on the essential preconditions for CRPD implementation and program delivery. The Strategy 2020-2025 will also need to be supported by a communications strategy that ensures accessible and targeted messages to a wide range of stakeholders and public. |
