Theory of Change to support the establishment of a Euro-Mediterranean Agenda on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
The EuroMed Disability Agenda is an evolving initiative co-designed by the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) and ONCE Social Group (OSG) that has grown through successive conferences and stakeholder inputs. The 2022 Conference in Barcelona, Spain, laid the groundwork for a comprehensive approach, highlighting the region’s challenges and opportunities for fostering socio-economic inclusion. The 2024 Conference in Amman, Jordan, furthered these discussions, serving as a launch pad for the Euro-Med Agenda on the Socioeconomic Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities. The recently completed Preliminary Assessment on the Socio-Economic Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in the Mediterranean Region further illuminates key barriers and suggests potential pathways forward. These efforts collectively inform the Theory of Change (ToC), setting the stage for an inclusive, evidence-based disability agenda in the region.
