Theme: “Promoting the participation of persons with disabilities and their leadership: taking action on the 2030 Development Agenda“

Drawing on the information provided by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) UN Enable website, the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) has been annually observed since 1992 around the world on 3 December each year. The theme for this 2019 IDPD is ‘Promoting the participation of persons with disabilities and their leadership: taking action on the 2030 Development Agenda’. 

The theme focuses on the empowerment of persons with disabilities for inclusive, equitable and sustainable development as envisaged in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which pledges to ‘leave no one behind’ and recognizes disability as a cross-cutting issues, to be considered in the implementation of its 17 Sustainable Development Goals. 

Observance of the IDPD at the UN Headquarters in New York, USA will consist of an official opening, a panel discussion on new initiatives for disability inclusion, and a spotlight event on the theme of ‘Sport for all for peace and development’, which will be the opportunity to discuss sport as a powerful enabler of peace and sustainable development through the empowerment of persons with disabilities.
