Summary
The webinar aims to raise public awareness on the rights of persons with disabilities, and the role that evaluation can play in supporting these rights. The illustrative case will be a 2017-18 evaluation, ‘UNDP support to disability Inclusive –development’ that looked globally at programmatic and operational issues.
