Persons with disabilities are one of the most vulnerable groups facing a lot of barriers in their everyday lives. UNDP Thailand knows that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will never be fully achieved if persons with disabilities are still left behind and not meaningfully included in development.

Therefore, the Disability Inclusive Development Strategy of UNDP Thailand has been formulated to support and guide the implementation of its Country Programme (2022-2026). The strategy highlights how UNDP works with state and non-state actors as well as UN agencies in Thailand to support the country’s commitments toward persons with disabilities through three pillars: promoting equal rights, strengthening economic empowerment, and mainstreaming disability inclusion.
