National Council for the Care of People with Disabilities (CONADI)
Description:
In Guatemala, SOCIEUX+ supported the National Council for the Attention of Persons with Disabilities (CONADI) in advancing legal reforms to promote inclusive employment. Experts from Spain, Lithuania, and Ecuador assisted with the review of a legislative proposal and facilitated a national seminar with public institutions and civil society. The action helped generate consensus on key improvements to the draft law, particularly with regard to reasonable adjustments, affirmative action, and institutional coordination. It also strengthened CONADI’s role as lead advocate for disability inclusion, while introducing good practices from the EU and Latin America to support national dialogue on inclusive labour policies.
