South Africa: National Disability Conference

In 2004 South Africa will celebrate a decade of democracy - Access 2004 is planned to coincide with these celebrations.

The conference program will explore the effect democracy has had on people with disability especially in terms of access to ensuring equal participation in and benefit from mainstream society. Access 2004 will ensure that disability related planning, development and implementation as per the Integrated National Disability Strategy and Integrated Provincial Disability Strategy remain relevant. One of the biggest challenges is still to ensure that disability becomes and remains part of mainstream development, planning and implementation.

Relevant presentations and exhibitions complimented by vibrant discussion and debate will be attended by government and decision makers, sector professionals, academics and institutions, the corporate sector and the disabled community.
