The right of persons with disabilities to participate in decision-making 2016, para. 98
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- International cooperation agencies should directly engage with and support representative organizations of persons with disabilities, and should consider increasing funding to achieve that engagement and support. In recent years, many donors have reduced the number of regions and countries in which they operate, thereby affecting organizations of persons with disabilities in middle-income countries. Additionally, funding is often tied to the condition that organizations must provide a percentage of co-funding from another source, but many representative organizations of persons with disabilities are unable to comply with this requirement and are thus excluded from such aid. Donors should take this factor into account and show flexibility in their conditions.
