ESCAP has reduced its 13 TWGs (Thematic Working Groups) to 5 groups in accordance with UN restructuring. As a result, the scheme of TWGDC (Thematic Working Group on Disability-related Concerns) was dissolved.
TWGDC activities will be pursued under the new scheme of BMF-SCM (Stakeholders' Coordination Meeting).
