description:

The placement of PwD should not be considered as the end of the process. In fact, working PwD interviewed during the final evaluation who had obtained their job opportunities through the placement services of the Ministry of Manpower revealed that once they were placed in a professional job, government action almost reached a dead end. No follow-up is taking place to ensure that the employer respects the terms of the contract or the labour rights of the PwD, or to ensure that the employer has rehabilitated the work place or work station in which the PwD is working, in terms of accessibility or being adequate to the needs of the employee. Hence, institutional development is required in the employment offices of the Ministry of Labour to establish a follow-up section for employed PwD, with the mission of carrying out regular, individualized follow-up of the different PwD employed.
