In Latin America, public policies on youth and on disability have, separately, made headway over the last few years. However, the rights and concerns of youth with disabilities have not yet been adequately addressed in either sector. There is thus an urgent need to link the two areas, and to develop comprehensive and integrated approaches that target youth with disabilities, particularly in relation to social inclusion and employment. The aim of this project is to strengthen national capacity in the three project countries to formulate, implement, monitor and evaluate effective and evidence-based national policies and programmes aimed at social and economic integration and inclusion of young people with disabilities. The project focuses on two areas: 1) the design and implementation of national policies for social inclusion of youth with disabilities, and; 2) the design of national programmes and strategies for creating employment opportunities and including youth with disabilities in national labour markets.
