Landscape analysis on children with disabilities in Indonesia

The Landscape Analysis on Children with Disabilities marks a significant step as the first analytical report about children with disabilities in Indonesia. It contributes substantially to the knowledge and data landscape in the country, shedding light on the challenges faced by some of the most vulnerable children and the factors contributing to their daily struggles.

In Indonesia, children with disabilities and their caregivers encounter various obstacles in accessing essential services, including education, health, nutrition, water and sanitation, and social and child protection services. The report outlines necessary policy adjustments and interventions at different levels, serving as a valuable reference for policymakers, researchers, professionals, child rights advocates, organizations of persons with disabilities, parents, and individuals committed to addressing the challenges faced by children with disabilities in Indonesia. The findings presented provide a perspective that enhances our understanding of the challenges these children face and offers a collaborative framework for addressing them.

The findings in this report can play an important role in informing and influencing government policies, planning, and budgeting to support the rights of children with disabilities, thereby promoting their full participation and inclusion in society.
