Information Needs Assessment for Persons with Disabilities in Cambodia

Abstract/Summary

Background:

Closely echoing the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Goals call upon State Parties to ensure the full and equal participation of persons with disabilities in all spheres of society, including access to information. As part of its mandates, UNESCO contributes to the implementation of the CRPD, specifically prioritising Article 9 on Accessibility; Article 21 on Freedom of Expression and Access to Information; Article 24 on Education; Article 30 on Participation in Cultural Life, Recreation, Leisure and Sport, and Article 31 on International Cooperation.
