The right of persons with disabilities to participate in decision-making 2016, para. 96
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- International cooperation is pivotal to support national efforts for the realization of the purpose and objectives of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, especially in developing countries. States must undertake appropriate and effective measures to foster international cooperation between and among States, including South-South and triangular cooperation, in partnership, as appropriate, with relevant international and regional organizations and CSOs, particularly organizations of persons with disabilities. Involvement and consultation by persons with disabilities is essential in order to ensure that they are both agents and beneficiaries of official development aid. States should take into account their expertise in identifying priority areas for funding, as well as key areas for capacity-building and research. Contributions to the present report illustrate the added value of establishing disability-inclusive consultative forums or working groups attached to national cooperation agencies.
