Description: The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of Ukraine, conducted in 2012, identified a number of issues affecting persons with disabilities. This included inaccessibility of built spaces and barriers to access in key areas of service delivery such as education, employment facilitation, health care, rehabilitation and habilitation. The UNPRPD project Promoting Mainstream Policies and Services for Persons with Disabilities in Ukraine was launched in October 2012 to address some of the issues raised in the UPR exercise. Focused on promoting accessibility and universal design as enablers of participation, the project set out to undertake a mix of national and sub-national interventions to raise awareness, strengthen the capacity of multiple stakeholders and demonstrate the practical and financial viability of inclusive service delivery models
