another message to JICA friends-Ueno Etsuko(JSRPD)
It is nice to receive a response through this page.
I am giving you some information on the disability-related events recently
held by UN ESCAP (Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific)
in Bangkok,Thailand.
1.The seminar for South-to-south cooperation for Decades of people with
disabilities : held jointly by UNESCAP and APCD (Asia-Pacific Development Center on
Disability) on July 28 and 29, 2005.
The program was to exchange views and experiences on the Decades of Persons with Disabilities.
Participants were from different regions such as Asia, Arab, Africa and Latin America.
You may like to ask APCD about who participated from Latin American region so that
you could share the outcome of the seminar.

2. You will also see the workshop on the Convention of Persons with
Disabilities held by ESCAP immediately before the above seminar.

3.Another interesting workshop was CBR and Poverty Alleviation held by
UNESCAP on July 5, where economic empowerment was discussed.
(I attended this very interesting workshop.)

UNESCAP is well accepted because they are taking an excellent initiative in
promoting the Decade and the Convention.
That is all today.
