Supporting the national disability and rehabilitation plan in the DPRK
In conclusion, although the consultation
process had a different approach from previous
consultation processes in Egypt (7) and Ukraine
(8), the goal of developing a draft of the NSAPCR
for the DPRK was met successfully. The authors
hope that this NSAPCR can be implemented in
order to improve the life situation of people with
disabilities in the DPRK.
