I. Leading up to HABITAT III

Rapid and consistent evolution on disability public policy based on endogenous development and South- South cooperation. Adaptation of CRPD in national and local institutional structures. Strong exchanges of civil society initiatives in each country. STRENGTHS and OPPORTUNITIES

IV. CHALLENGES

CHALLENGES The qualification and certification of disabilities is a pending matter requiring further work. It is the main concern of the countries of the region. Promote the adoption and adaptation of universal accessibility norms at the global level. Promote the adoption of a Universal Accessibility Global Action Plan, envisioning the implementation of accessibility assessments and quantifiable and measurable enhancement proposals based on the best practices, including that of Ecuador. Include universal accessibility as a cross-cutting issue in the agenda- setting discussions leading to Habitat III.
