comments:

In the development of the new ILO Disability Inclusion Strategy (2024-2027), the Office will engage in a broad-based consultation, including partners consulted in developing the previous Strategy (such as the ILO/UNDIS Indicator Custodians). It will also pursue new partnerships, including with Policy Departments whose disability inclusion work is not reflected in the current Strategy. The Office will actively seek guidance from Global Management Team members, with particular attention paid to the role of the Regional Directors in applying the Strategy at the regional level. Moreover, the Office will consult with the ILO Staff Union to develop areas of the Strategy that impact on the conditions of service of ILO staff members, respecting their role in social dialogue. The Office will also engage with the ILO’s Employee Resource Group (ERG) on Disability Inclusion to draw from ERG members’ lived experiences with disability. The Office will disseminate information on good practices of consultation with organizations of persons with disabilities, particularly at the field level.

title:

14. Ensure the development of the next Strategy is collaborative. One of the strengths of this Strategy was the consultation by GEDI with other custodian departments. This approach should be replicated but also expanded upon, including: • Ensure the ERG on Disability Inclusion are fully consulted and given meaningful opportunity to influence the Strategy and establish a formal consultation mechanism with the ERG’s role in different areas of the Strategy clearly laid out; • Ensure the consultation of OPDs and incorporation of their feedback; • Identify ways to better engage the country and regional offices in the development and roll-out of the new Strategy; • Coordinate with programme and policy departments who are not ILO UNDIS custodians to identify potential commitments and indicators from them. • Ensure the management response to this evaluation is a collaborative effort involving GEDI, all other custodian departments, and senior leadership.
