There are many different practices around the world which contribute to the reduction of poverty, social exclusion and discrimination of persons with disabilties. The aim of MIW is to provide a uniform methodology to share and exchange examples of such good practices. The added value of MIW is to act as a clearinghouse for information on what works and how this knowledge can be used to advocate for policy change at all levels.
The Making It Work initiative is based around four clear objectives:
- To develop the capacity of stakeholders (at local, national and regional levels) to collect information on key disability issues and good practices that uphold the principles of the UNCRPD.
- To develop the capacity of stakeholders to use this information to produce thematic reports and working papers with clear policy recommendations.
- To develop the capacity of stakeholders to carry out advocacy efforts to disseminate the report and recommendations with the aim of affecting changes in policy.
- To facilitate the international exchange of these reports through an interactive website .
