The Government of Aceh, in collaboration with SKALA, an Australia-Indonesia Partnership Program, is taking a significant step towards advancing the rights of people with disabilities in Aceh province. Through the draft Qanun regarding the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in Aceh, the government is committed to providing a sustainable legal framework for disabled individuals, ensuring the fulfilment of their rights.
This initiative is a testament to the government’s dedication to promoting social inclusion, upholding core values of diversity, justice, and inclusivity. With the collaboration of various stakeholders and related agencies, the government is optimistic about the timely realisation of the Qanun that genuinely addresses the basic service needs of people with disability. This inspiring initiative is expected to make a positive impact on the lives of many vulnerable individuals and is a significant step towards reducing poverty and inequality in Aceh.
SKALA is an Australia-Indonesia Partnership Program that aims to support the Government of Indonesia’s efforts to reduce poverty and inequality by improving basic service provisions to poor and vulnerable communities in less-developed regions. The program actively promotes social inclusion, upholding core values of diversity, justice, and inclusivity.
