24. Making WHO an organization which is inclusive of people with disability in all their diversity and ensuring disability is ingrained across all programmatic areas of work will require actions across four core areas, as per the UNDIS:
- Leadership, Strategic Planning and Management – Actions include increasing the visibility of disability inclusion, internally and externally; integrating disability into WHO's policies, systems, and services, as well as in strategic planning processes, resource coordination and performance monitoring; and strengthening organizational knowledge and expertise on disability inclusion.
- Inclusiveness – Establishing systematic process for consultations and active engagement of people with disability and organizations of persons with disabilities in WHO's business operations and programmatic areas; and ensuring accessibility of building, facilities, workspaces, information, procurement, and events.
- Programming – Actions include the development of guidance and tools on disability inclusion in health projects and country programs; participation in inter-agency coordination mechanisms and joint programming; and integration of disability in the results framework of WHO.
- Organizational Culture – Developing the Organization's human resources systems and processes to attract, recruit, retain and promote people with disability as staff, consultants, and interns; and strengthening understanding on disability inclusion within the Organization.
