Awareness raising. The Singapore government must adopt effective and appropriate measures to encourage respect for the rights and dignity of persons with disabilities. This can be done by: a) Having public awareness campaigns to promote awareness about the rights, skills and abilities of persons with disabilities; b) Fostering an attitude of respect for the rights of persons with disabilities at all levels of the education system; c) Encouraging the media to portray persons with disabilities accurately; d) Promoting awareness-training programmes regarding persons with disabilities and their rights. The Enabling Masterplan 2012-2016 recommended enhancing public education initiatives to promote inclusiveness. Over the past few years, NCSS as well as various Social Service Organisations (SSOs), and Disabled People’s Organisations (DPOs) have launched public education campaigns to raise awareness about persons with disabilities: ● On 16 September 2013, DPA launched a public campaign with the tagline “Their Greatest Disability is Our Apathy” to raise awareness of the obstacles faced by persons with disabilities as they go about their daily travel. ● NCSS and various SSOs work together to organise The Purple Parade, an annual movement supporting the inclusion of persons with disabilities, which celebrates the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (3 December). On 22 March 2013, NCSS launched a biennial campaign with the tagline "We Are Able! Enhancing Possibilities, Celebrating Abilities" as part of raising awareness about the CRPD and Enabling Masterplan. ● On 2 June 2016, NCSS launched a five-year campaign, “See the True Me”, to celebrate the strengths and abilities of persons with disabilities, encourage their inclusion in society and provide guidance on how to interact with them. The campaign includes awareness raising talks and an educational website. The 3rd Enabling Masterplan 2017-2021 builds on the efforts of the past two Enabling Masterplans and its strategies complement Singapore’s efforts to progressively realise its obligations under the CRPD. Singapore is to be “a caring and inclusive society where persons with disabilities are empowered to achieve their fullest potential and participate fully as integral and contributing members of society.“ The Masterplan notes the following areas where more needs to be done: ● The public should be more aware about disability-friendly features that are meant for persons with disabilities who require additional support for ...

Awareness raising. The ultimate impact of this work is that natural resource dependent communities have equitable access to and manage their natural resources responsibly, contributing to social, economic, and ecosystem resilience. DFE and its partners target the same impact groups as described in Xxxxxx’s civil society policy: “poor marginalized and excluded groups, i.e. rights holders who are constrained in claiming their rights and in fully influencing their own lives.” (CS Policy 2014) We also see women and youth as having major roles in influencing change in society. Thus, when monitoring, the program will focus on changes in our partner capacity, the target groups, and key stakeholders. We realize that these changes are non-linear and that we have to be aware of the complexity of relationships between the key actors involved. Understanding these relationships is key to adjusting our work strategy. While we are exploring this new ToC model, the program will still be based on the more traditional and linear log frame and results-based monitoring. We will however focus on indicators that help us be more ‘lessons learned’-oriented, that look at changes in behavior and relationships, and that seek information from target groups in a participatory way, so that we can take a critical look at our work and make necessary changes accordingly. This is further described in the M&E manual. Below is DFE’s and the partners Theory of Change graph: The program’s links the activities related to natural resources to the normative human rights framework, specifically, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states that everyone “has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and his family”. A “right to an adequate standard of living” is dependent on the availability of essential natural resources. This means that the program is focused on two thematic areas: access to/management of natural resources and formal education on NRM. DFE has a practical approach to the application of rights that ensures tangible results for the target groups, including poverty reduction and sustainable development. This means that we work with the facts on the ground and concrete skill building of the target groups so that they can actually improve their livelihoods and well-being, including holding duty bearers accountable through advocacy work. As far as operationalizing the human rights approach on a higher normative plane, DFE and partners have mostly been ...
