Operational Guidance for the Rights to Participation of Adolescents and Youth with Disabilities
Operational Guidance for the Rights to Participation of Adolescents and Youth with Disabilities in Timor-Leste
Highlights
UNICEF Timor-Leste developed this operational guideline for the right to participation of adolescents and youth with disabilities in collaboration with the Secretary of State for Youth and Sport (SSYS) Timor-Leste to provide useful guidance for all government entities, development partners, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and civil society organizations (CSOs) on how to involve youth and youth with disabilities in activities and events, in order to enable inclusive civic participation. It provides practical tips on how to successfully organize inclusive activities in Timor-Leste.
This operational guidance was developed through consultations with stakeholders in the municipalities of Dili, Ermera, and Bobonaro including adolescents and youth with disabilities, their families, local leaders, youth representatives, and organizations of people with disabilities (OPDs).
