The Situation Analysis of Children with Disabilities marks an important step as the first analytical report on children with disabilities in Indonesia. The report contributes significantly to the knowledge and data landscape in Indonesia, shedding light on the challenges faced by the most vulnerable children and the factors that contribute to their daily struggles.
In Indonesia, children with disabilities and their guardians face various obstacles in receiving basic services, including education, health, nutrition, water and sanitation, social welfare, and child protection services. The report outlines the policy adjustments and interventions needed at various levels and will be a valuable reference for policy makers, researchers, experts, child rights advocates, disability organizations, parents, and individuals working to address the challenges facing children with disabilities in Indonesia. The findings presented offer a perspective that deepens the understanding of the challenges facing these children and provides a collaborative framework for addressing the challenges.
The report’s findings can play a key 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.
