Ulaanbaatar, April 2, 2024. /MONTSAME/. The launching
ceremony of the project "Role of Civil Society Organizations to Improving
the Response to Violations of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities" was
held yesterday at the Ministry of Health.
Funded by the European Union, "Equal Society
Union" NGO, Italian "AIFO" NGO, Mongolian Government
Organizations, Civil Society Organizations, and Disabled People's Organizations
will jointly implement the project over 24 months to establish a monitoring
mechanism for strengthening the decentralized system in response to violations
of the rights of people with disabilities.
Within the framework of the project, 20 people with
disabilities and 20 civil society organizations operating at the national level
will receive capacity-building training to influence policies and laws related
to human rights. Moreover, the National Human Rights Commission and its branches
in aimags will reveal cases that violate the rights of people with
disabilities and take action.

involved in the project will establish a monitoring mechanism to detect
violations of the rights of people with disabilities, collect information about
the rights of people with disabilities, and provide the State Great Khural with
a report on the state of the rights of people with disabilities.
The National Council for Ensuring the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the National Human Rights Commission of Mongolia, the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection, the General Department of Development of Persons with Disabilities, and the NGO "Intellectual Immunity Center" are participating in the project.
