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. <br>
