Botswana adopts CRPD law

Delighted to learn that the preparatory work done on behalf of UNDP Botswana has now yielded the adoption of a Persons with Disabilities Law on the occasion of Persons with Disabilities Day. As a consultant it is a delicate task to try and understand the inner workings of a country and its administration, adding international obligations and the growing practice to support changes that will have a meaningful impact on the lived experience of persons with disabilities, it appears that in the case of Botswana a good mix of national self-representation, national legal expertise and international support brought about the necessary change towards a more inclusive and accessible society.
