Disability Right and Advocacy Program
OHANA is an organization dedicated to promoting the rights of persons with disabilities. Our work focuses on two key areas: the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. We have been actively advocating for these fundamental human rights and developing sustainable frameworks at local, national, and international levels.
With support from the Ford Foundation, OHANA has partnered with Indonesia’s Ministry of Home Affairs to accelerate the implementation of CRPD and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. OHANA also collaborates with local organizations of persons with disabilities (OPDs) to develop provincial action plans that integrate CRPD and the 2030 Agenda into planning, budgeting, and policy implementation in Indonesia. Additionally, OHANA provides capacity-building training for OPDs, equipping them with advocacy skills and movement strategies to drive inclusive and resilient policy changes.
At the global level, OHANA works with international disability rights organizations and other stakeholders to promote disability rights and policy advocacy, sharing best practices in CRPD and 2030 Agenda implementation at both local and national levels. OHANA is also actively involved in inclusive development discussions within the United Nations (UN) and the G20 Forum. Through the establishment of gender and disability working groups, OHANA collaborated with C20 Indonesia leaders during Indonesia’s G20 Presidency to promote disability inclusion in global policy discussions.
