Description

Towards Formal-Sector Employment for People with Disability in Timor-Leste . This project aims to identify, and find ways to overcome, barriers to formal-sector employment for people with disability in Timor-Leste. The project expects to generate new knowledge about how ableism affects the employment prospects of people with disability. Expected outcomes include a robust evidence base to help our partners, including Timor-Leste's leading Disabled People's Organisations, in their policy advocacy and training work with government and large employers. This should provide significant benefits assisting Timor-Leste to meet its obligations under the United Nations Convention for the Rights of People with Disability and supporting Australia's commitments to support the rights of people with disability in our region.. Scheme: Linkage Projects. Field: 3505 - Human Resources and Industrial Relations. Lead: Prof Michele Ford
