Aims of the World Report on Disability
{"Image DocumentName": "Aims of the World Report on Disability", "Image ImageDescription": "World Health Organization. To provide governments and civil society with a comprehensive analysis of the importance of disability and the responses provided, based on best available evidence. To recommend national and international action to improve the lives of persons with disabilities. To support implementation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The World Report on Disability fills a major gap, by providing evidence on the global disability situation. It answers questions such as how many disabled people are there? What is the extent of need and unmet need? What are the barriers to participation? and What works to overcome those barriers . The World Report also helps by showing what works, and highlighting what can be done, in line with the CRPD, to improve the lives of persons with disabilities, for example better policy, more accessible services, better knowledge, and training for professionals from health and other fields so they understand the human rights approach to disability. The World Report therefore provides evidence which underpins many Articles of the CRPD, and will assist member states in the implementation of the CRPD.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
