Asia Pacific Disability Constituency on Sustainable Development Invitation to join and information

The Stakeholder Group of Persons with Disabilities (SGPwD<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=http%3a%2f%2fwww.internationaldisabilityalliance.org%2fcontent%2fstakeholder-group-persons-disabilities&c=E,1,3K2TSB15_ROcQXZe0z933DgRnOy7K2CvOUcHFFhb9iS1WcxUkEUcp53E0JXM-XZ7eEan6Klyuy8ZBz5uwZ4439Ng06tnSm3oZ7E7ay46SNwBG6X_&typo=1>) is the representative civil society body of persons with disabilities to the United Nations High Level Political Forum on the 2030 Agenda. The SGPwD is a network of persons with disabilities, disabled persons organizations (DPOs) and other allies. The Asia Pacific is one of the five major global regions as defined by the United Nations. This email intends to establish a strong Asia Pacific Disability Constituency (APDC) as well as provide relevant information. All activities of the APDC are organised in relation to Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) implementation and the Economic and Social Commission of the Asia Pacific (ESCAP) Sustainable Development Forum. In the Asia-Pacific region, there is a strong and well-established coordination mechanism; the Asia-Pacific Regional Civil Society Engagement Mechanism (AP-RCEM). The AP-RCEM engages in sustainable development processes and the Disability Constituency is part of it. Persons with disabilities as a regional stakeholder group have the rights to intervene, submit position papers and documents, hold side events and engage fully as a civil society stakeholder at the ESCAP Sustainable Development Forum and related events.

More information can be found on the ESCAP regional page.<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=http%3a%2f%2fwww.internationaldisabilityalliance.org%2fblog%2fescap&c=E,1,gxRQ9BP2xtmqnWl7WFono2LlGm6h4g3B2BxtirAuQjhDOJcoSBWBffyIjylizI9NrtUn7zEocYjcAcyLDOELp4ypeBz0Jo4JZuEJXtLxn-Dz&typo=1> A summary of this page can be found below.
