Joint UN Project " Accelerating Disability Inclusion for Adults and Children with Disabilities"
Overview
The Joint Programme (JP) "Accelerating Disability Inclusion for Adults and Children with Disabilities" aimed to support system and policy changes for Government of Montenegro to advance better implementation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in Montenegro through enhancing capacities of state institutions and organizations of persons with disabilities (OPDs). Implemented in two phases, the Inception phase included an induction workshop on CRPD, disability-inclusive SDGs, and UNPRPD’s approaches to prepare stakeholders for subsequent steps: situational analysis and full proposal development. The main phase focused on achieving three goals: reducing institutionalization through prevention strategies, enhancing independent monitoring of CRPD, and increasing disability inclusion in UN activities and the new UN SDCF (2023-2027) implementation in Montenegro. The JP aimed to support policy framework-setting, institutional capacity building, service design, enhancing capacities and empowerment of OPDs to improve the well-being and autonomy of individuals with disabilities. It also aimed to promote CRPD-aligned budgeting, prevent family separation, and pilot services for those at risk of institutionalization. Spanning 40 months (February 25th, 2021 – June 30th, 2024) with a $400,000 budget, coordinated by UNICEF and supported by UNDP with the support of the Human Rights Adviser in the Resident Coordinator’s Office, the JP collaborated with Montenegro's relevant ministries, the Protector of Human Rights and Freedoms, and multiple OPDs to ensure inclusive participation across all phases.
