The aim of the project is to strengthen the capacity of the Ukrainian Ministry of Economy and the State Employment Service, as well as employers in the development of innovative, experience- and evidence-based solutions that will support jobseekers with disabilities in Ukraine to access the labour market.
The full-scale invasion of Ukraine is resulting in significant civilian casualties, internal displacement of millions of people, and a substantial number of people sustaining injuries leading to disability. One of the challenges that persons with disabilities often are facing is unemployment.
The project will work directly with the partners, as well as employers, to increase capacity and strengthen the mechanisms supporting employers to adjust the workplace to be able to employ more people with disabilities.
