In the Arab world, persons with disabilities experience high rates of unemployment and economic inactivity, often despite the existence of quota systems and other forms of enabling legislation. Measures intended to advance labour market inclusion are frequently rendered ineffective by inaccessible work environments and discriminatory employer attitudes, creating gaps between disability policy and practice. With the roll-out of a capacity-building program in three Arab states, ESCWA and the ILO seek to facilitate the integration of persons with disabilities into domestic workforces. Through trainings and workshops in Egypt, Iraq and Jordan, the project will support public officials and private sector employers in developing evidence-based policies to mainstream the inclusion of persons with disabilities in the labour market.
