Leprosy Mailing List – June 14,  2022

 

Ref.:  (LML) Economic Empowerment for persons with disabilities and persons affected by leprosy: Challenges and Successes from projects across Asia and Africa

 

From:  Tim Burton, Eastbourne, UK

 

Dear colleagues,

 

 

The objective of this COSP15 (UN CRPD) side event (Jun 17, 2022 01:30 PM in London)  will be to consider economic empowerment projects within the disability and leprosy sector. We aim to understand what challenges these projects and the people within them are facing and how they are overcoming those challenges. We also aim to understand the successes, what has led to the success, and how this could be replicated in other places.

Through this side event we hope to equip attendees with the knowledge and insight that will guide their own work within the leprosy and disability sectors.
