5.2.6 Persons with disabilities and organizations of persons with disabilities
Persons with disabilities can make an important contribution to society and to the humanitarian response. Either with or without international support, they should:
- further familiarize themselves with their rights, international humanitarian law, and the humanitarian system
- increase their confidence as active contributors to society and continue to advocate the ratification of the CRPD and inclusive humanitarian action
- organize themselves in self-help groups or OPDs, in particular outside Juba, and join the national umbrella organization
- contribute to capacity-building and provide technical support and other inputs to mainstream humanitarian staff and government officials
- invest in capacity-building on humanitarian action and programming.
