The purpose of this meeting is to allow the exchange of information between the IDA and other organizations in their current activities are supporting the implementation of complete and effective implementation of the CRPD. We are especially interested in having the participation of Disabled People's Organizations (DPO's for its initials in English) who are working at national or regional human rights and development organizations that are interested in promoting the rights of persons with disabilities in their work.
The meeting is scheduled to take place on August 31 between 9 am and 1 pm in the City of New York at the Double Tree Metropolitan Hotel, located at 569 Lexington Avenue .
The date has been chosen taking into account that many interested organizations are planning to take part in the third session of the Conference of the CRPD state groups to begin the next day.
To facilitate planning of the meeting, kindly confirm your attendance via email ( stromel@fundaciononce.es ) before July 31.
Hoping to see you in New York
