description:

Communication and advocacy are key aspects in enhancing vocational rehabilitation and the employment of PwD. The evaluation process has revealed that certain key national counterparts were not well-informed about the project. Moreover, other national counterparts interviewed claimed that – vis-à-vis the public, decision makers, PwD themselves and their families – there was an absence of awareness tools and effort in relation to the promotion of the rights, perspectives, and employment of PwD as well as the added value of vocational rehabilitation. Furthermore, a wide range of private sector companies are not aware of the quota of 2% for the employment of PwD in companies with more than 50 employees. As a result of these findings, the next phase of the project must place increased emphasis on an integrated dimension of communication and advocacy to better promote the project and the cause of the employment and vocational rehabilitation of PwD.
