The National Action Plan on the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities identifies the measures that will be taken to promote the implementation of the Convention in different administrative branches during the third Action Plan period 2023–2027. Work on the Action Plan has been coordinated and adapted by VANE (the Advisory Board for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities), the members of which include representatives of disability organisations and the ministries and stakeholders in a key role regarding the rights of persons with disabilities. Disability organisations and persons with disabilities were consulted during the process of drawing up the Action Plan to obtain information about those issues referred to in the Convention which the Action Plan should promote. The Action Plan consists of 13 content areas and 75 measures. The implementation of the measures will be monitored during the Action Plan period and evaluated at the end of the period. The Action Plan emphasises the inclusion and equality of persons with disabilities. In the programme work, particular emphasis has been placed on the rights of women and children with disabilities and the intersectional perspective. In economically challenging times, it has been considered particularly important to assess the impacts and combined impacts of projects on the rights of persons with disabilities. One important objective of the Action Plan is to raise awareness of the rights of persons with disabilities.
