Book excerpt: The framework of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) will expire in 2015.

This publication is a collaborative effort by United Nations agencies, disability-related organizations and NGOs, as well as advocates and experts from around the world. It provides a "roadmap" for why and how disability can and should be included in the planning, monitoring and evaluation of development-related programs and policies.

Book Synopsis Disability and Development Report by : United Nations Publications
Download or read book Disability and Development Report written by United Nations Publications and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-16 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disability-inclusive development is an essential condition for a sustainable future. In 2015, the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, pledging to leave no one behind in the global efforts to realize the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Without the world's one billion persons with disabilities - 15% of the world population - being included as both agents and beneficiaries of development, these Goals will never be achieved. Yet, persons with disabilities are still invisible and often left behind. This United Nations flagship report is the first publication to address, at the global level, the nexus between disability and the Sustainable Development Goals. It is also the first global analysis based on an unprecedented amount of data, legislation and policies from over 100 countries to understand the socio-economic circumstances of persons with disabilities and the challenges and barriers they face in their daily lives. This report examines new areas, like the role of access to energy to enable persons with disabilities to use assistive technology, for which no global research was previously available. And explores the linkages between the Sustainable Development Goals and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities as well as other international relevant norms and standards relating to disability. Against the backdrop of all the available evidence, the report identifies good practices and recommends urgent actions to be taken for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals by, for and with persons with disabilities. The e-book for this publication has been converted into an accessible format for the visually impaired and people with print reading disabilities. It is fully compatible with leading screen-reader technologies such as JAWS and NVDA.
Book Synopsis The Millennium Development Goals and Human Rights by : Malcolm Langford
Download or read book The Millennium Development Goals and Human Rights written by Malcolm Langford and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-09-16 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) have generated tremendous discussion in global policy and academic circles. On the one hand, they have been hailed as the most important initiative ever in international development. On the other hand, they have been described as a great betrayal of human rights and universal values that has contributed to a depoliticization of development. With contributions from scholars from the fields of economics, law, politics, medicine and architecture, this volume sets out to disentangle this debate in both theory and practice. It critically examines the trajectory of the MDGs, the role of human rights in theory and practice, and what criteria might guide the framing of the post-2015 development agenda. The book is essential reading for anyone interested in global agreements on poverty and development.

Book Synopsis The Disability and Development Gap by : Nora Groce
Download or read book The Disability and Development Gap written by Nora Groce and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International development efforts up to and including the Millennium Development Goals have improved the lives of millions of people over the past 15 years through significant advances in health, education, economic development, communications and human rights. However, in this paper, we argue that there has been little attention to the systematic inclusion of the world's one billion persons with disabilities in these initiatives - and because they have not been included they have lagged behind their non-disabled peers. This 'lag' has created what we term here a 'disability and development gap' in many countries where the socioeconomic status of persons with disabilities has remained stationary while the well-being of many of their fellow citizens has moved ahead.We further argue that unless specific measures are taken to ensure the inclusion of persons with disabilities in current and future international development efforts, including the forthcoming Sustainable Development Goals, the 15% of the world's population who live with a physical, sensory (i.e. deafness, blindness) intellectual or mental health disability are at risk of continuing to live in poverty and social isolation, remaining poorer in both relative and absolute terms as their non-disabled peers rise out of poverty.

Book Synopsis Did the Millennium Development Goals Work? by : Manmohan Agarwal
Download or read book Did the Millennium Development Goals Work? written by Manmohan Agarwal and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2017-09-20 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the target date for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) behind us, this book asks did they work? And what happens next? Arguing that to effectively look forward, we must first look back, the editors of this insightful book gather leading scholars and practitioners from a range of backgrounds and regions to provide an in-depth exploration of the MDG project and its impact. Contributors use region-specific case studies to explore the effectiveness of the MDGs in addressing the root causes of poverty, including resource geographies, early childhood development and education, women’s rights and disability rights as well as the impact of the global financial crisis and Arab Spring on MDG attainment. Providing a critical assessment that seeks to inform future policy decisions, the book will be valuable to those working in the development community as well as to academics and students of international development, international relations and development economics.

Book Synopsis Disability, Globalization and Human Rights by : Hisayo Katsui
Download or read book Disability, Globalization and Human Rights written by Hisayo Katsui and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-13 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities has facilitated the understanding that disability is both a human rights and development issue. In order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, the focus on disability inclusion has become increasingly important in the discourse of international and national efforts for "leaving no one behind", the motto of the SDGs. This book discusses pertinent and emerging themes such as disability rights, globalization, inequalities, international cooperation and representation. Evidence which has been obtained tends to show that persons with disabilities have been disproportionately left behind without proper representation, participation and inclusion. This book critically investigates the gaps at different levels, from top to bottom, and as importantly, within the global disability movement, for the realization of global disability rights, and theorizes the intersection of disability, globalization and human rights. Empirical case studies from different countries and contexts are introduced to deepen analysis on theories of critical disability studies from a global perspective. Co-edited by a disability researcher and the former United Nations Special Rapporteur on Disability, this book will be of interest to all students, academics, policy makers and practitioners working to advance the cause of disability rights around the world.

Download or read book The Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the Sustainable Development Goals written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Institute has developed a matrix to demonstrate the links between the SDGs and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is "grounded in [..] international human rights treaties" and is informed, among others, by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and UN Declaration on the Right to Development. The 2030 Agenda "seeks to realize the human rights of all". It also explicitly seeks to ensure that no one is left behind, reflecting the fundamental human rights principle of non-discrimination. In order to ensure that no specific group of persons is left behind, the Agenda states that its follow-up and review processes should be informed by data which is high-quality, accessible, timely, reliable and disaggregated by income, sex, age, race, ethnicity, migration status, disability and geographic location and other characteristics relevant in national contexts. Given the explicit grounding of the 2030 Agenda and its related Goals and Targets in international human rights treaties, this publication has been developed to demonstrate the links between the SDGs and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). It is a tool to enable practitioners in the development and human rights fields, and organisations working specifically on issues relating to persons with disabilities, to begin to build their human rights-based approach to implementing and/or monitoring progress towards the achievement of the SDGs for persons with disabilities, through identifying their specific rights that are of relevance to the SDG Goals and Targets.
