Description
- Promoting, protecting and monitoring the rights of persons with disabilities by providing financial support to EU-level networks of civil society organisations active in this area at local, regional, national and transnational level. It will in particular contribute to the implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights (EPSR), the European Strategy for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities 2021-2030 (ESRPD) and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD);
- Supporting the Commission in putting the Strategy for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities 2021-2030 into practice;
- Delivering on the European Pillar of Social Rights and related initiatives such as the ESRPD is a shared responsibility of the EU institutions, national, regional and local authorities, social partners and civil society. Civil society organisations are expected to:
- support its implementation at EU, national and local level notably by collecting and exchanging data and good practices and cooperating with public authorities in the design and implementation of relevant policies, implementing different mutual learning activities on concrete policies (mutual learning event/peer learning and other similar activities);
- organise communication and engagement activities to raise awareness of the ESRPD and promote the rights of persons with disabilities in Europe;
- The ultimate goal is to build a stronger social Europe and ensure that people with disabilities can fully enjoy their rights.
