UN Tajikistan and Partners to Advance Inclusive Employment for Persons with Disabilities

The initiative forms part of ongoing efforts of the United Nations, in cooperation with national and international partners, to create an enabling and inclusive environment for all, specifically for inclusive employment of persons with disabilities.

Within the partnership, a practical workshop designed for persons with disabilities was conducted. It covered curriculum vitae preparation and profile registration on the Yora.tj national job aggregation platform operated by Vazifa LLC. The workshop brought together over 25 participants with disabilities, along with organizations of persons with disabilities. 

It aimed to strengthen job application skills, promote inclusive recruitment practices, and facilitate access to employment by connecting qualified candidates with job opportunities. Following the workshop, 13 participants successfully created profiles to support their future employment prospects in Tajikistan.

This initiative contributes to the efforts of the Republic of Tajikistan towards the ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the advancement of equal opportunities for all. Ensuring the right to employment for persons with disabilities is essential to delivering on the central promise of the Sustainable Development Goals, to leave no one behind.
