Minister links equipment with independence
Labour and Social Protection Minister Natalia Plugaru said: “Every person should have the opportunity to live independently”. The announced work included staff training, digital case management and an innovation laboratory bringing public institutions, researchers and civil society together. These were planned investments, alongside assistance for people facing urgent equipment needs. [1]
Disability organisations are named as partners
The 2026–2028 project listed organisations of persons with disabilities among its partners, together with national authorities and academia. Its objectives combined service modernisation with needs-based access and sustainable rehabilitation systems. A planned assessment would inform a roadmap, while procurement was intended to prioritise people facing the greatest barriers. [2]
Regional advocates had already received support
An earlier 2021–2024 UN programme reported creating three regional advocacy groups and helping them develop plans. It also supported training on rights-based disability assessment and a consultative mechanism involving disabled people, parents and representative organisations. This earlier work provided a documented participation context for the new programme’s partnership commitments. [3]
