Social Inclusion

Advocacy remains critically important to our work in promoting social inclusion for persons with disabilities.

NCPD culminated in 2017 with the submission of a project proposal request to Caribbean Policy Development Centre for a Public Awareness Campaign on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) for 2018. Promoting public awareness on disability issues is an important mandate of the UNCRPD.
