Held at the UN House, the event brought together representatives from Organisations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs), UN agencies, private sector and civil society groups for a day of consultation and friendly competition. Aligned with the UN Disability Inclusion Strategy (UN DIS), the event provided a space for engagement, networking, sharing of ideas, learning, strengthened partnership and promoting inclusion. The event also highlighted the importance of ensuring that persons with disabilities are not isolated in separate or special streams but are fully integrated into all aspects of social, cultural, and economic life.
