The UN Resident Coordinator in Sao Tome and Principe, Eric Overvest, talks about the practices that the UN in Sao Tome and Principe is putting in place to ensure there is both a physical and a mindset shift towards including people with disabilities in the UN's work.
The "Disability Inclusion Matters: Leaving No One Behind, Empowering Unity, Achieving More” is an internal RC system campaign aimed at celebrating and recognizing the crucial roles played by our colleagues with disabilities and the importance of each of us taking concrete steps to make the RC system more inclusive of persons with disabilities. This campaign is called for under the UN Disability Inclusion Strategy and outlined in DCO’s Disability Inclusion Strategy 2022-2025 to raise awareness and change attitudes and understandings around disability inclusion.
