#LetsBuildBridges to Inclusion
Integrating persons with disabilities, into existing systems and having them benefit from present government mechanisms, is the immediate objective of a two-year J$58 million synergy among Digicel Foundation, the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) and the Jamaica Council for Persons with Disabilities (JCPD).
The private/public partnership aims to bolster efforts towards the implementation of The Disability Act, 2014 and the development of suitable policies that strengthen the inclusion of persons with disabilities (PWDs).
The project will also include a media campaign on the right of PWDs as well as research on barriers to access quality education and skills training for youth with disabilities.
