Ⅲ. PRIORITY AREAS FOR ACTION
15. Further efforts need to focus on priority areas where progress was found inadequate and action was lagging during the implementation of the Asian and Pacific Decade of Disabled Persons, 1993-2002. By resolution 58/4, Governments in the region defined the priority policy areas as:
- (a). Self-help organizations of persons with disabilities and related family and parent associations;
- (b). Women with disabilities;
- (c). Early detection, early intervention and education;
- (d). Training and employment, including self-employment;
- (e). Access to built environments and public transport;
- (f). Access to information and communications, including information, communications and assistive technologies;
- (g). Poverty alleviation through capacity-building, social security and sustainable livelihood programmes.
