Higher Authority for Disabilities Achievements in July
The Higher Council for Persons with Disabilities issued its report for July, highlighting various achievements related to improving the rights and services of persons with disabilities in Jordan. These included strengthening Jordan’s regional and international standing in the rights of persons with disabilities and developing a system of quality standards and accreditation for their services, which received 96% international compliance accreditation. Additionally, a memorandum of understanding was signed with the Civil Aviation Regulation Authority to promote the right to mobility and independent travel with dignity, along with efforts to improve access to transportation and related services. The Council implemented 28 training programs targeting 846 staff members to enhance their skills in working with persons with disabilities based on a rights-based approach. More than 191 requests and complaints were handled to ensure their rights. On the legislative front, instructions for the accreditation of sign language interpreters were issued, and three beneficiaries of shelter services were integrated into their families to promote family and community inclusion. The Council also intensified its efforts to follow up on inclusive environment requirements and continued developing policies to enable independent travel and mobility, aiming to promote integration and equitable access to services.
