The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) entered into force on May 3, 2008.  This international law represents a significant step towards addressing the poverty and social exclusion experienced by people with disabilities worldwide.  For most countries, however, there are significant gaps between the standards set by the CRPD, the standards of national policies and the reality on the ground for people with disabilities.

Making it Work is a global, multi-stakeholder initiative to promote effective implementation of the CRPD
