A/HRC/57/47 VIII. Good practices: State and Indigenous-led initiatives 75. Despite the many challenges experienced by Indigenous persons with disabilities, the Special Rapporteur noted with interest the information provided to him with regard to good practices by States and Indigenous Peoples to advance the rights of Indigenous persons with disabilities. 76. Malaysia conveyed information about an artificial intelligence-augmented e-learning platform in the Sarawak language to personalize learning with practical approaches to education designed for Indigenous persons with disabilities. 92 77. In Greenland in 2017, Tilioq, a national advocacy organization for persons with disabilities, was established and, in 2020, new legislation was adopted to support persons with disabilities. High-quality facilities for persons with disabilities were established that integrate Inuit culture into individual therapies. However, a shortage of qualified staff who speak Greenlandic and lengthy municipal bureaucratic processes impede the effective operation of these facilities.93 78. There are several Indigenous-led initiatives for the protection and promotion of the rights of Indigenous persons with disabilities. In 2013, the International Disability Alliance established the Indigenous Persons with Disabilities Global Network to promote the rights of Indigenous persons with disabilities, reach out to new communities and engage with international and regional human rights and development processes. The First Peoples Disability Network Australia, which is the Australian national organization for First Peoples with disabilities, their families and communities, is entirely governed by First Nations people with lived experience of impairment. Investing in and building the capacity of such organizations is a good practice, drawing from the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, that could help advance the rights of Indigenous persons with disabilities at the national level. 79. In Costa Rica, to address the gap created by limited State programmes supporting Indigenous persons with disabilities at the community level, Indigenous Peoples have promoted community-led initiatives, such as one in Kéköldi. However, these initiatives often face challenges due to temporary funding.94 80. In Canada, the Pathway to Building Fully Accessible First Nations Initiative, developed by the Assembly of First Nations, is aimed at informing specific First Nations accessibility legislation. It involves inclusive engagements, an advisory circle, surveys and an accessibility hub of excellence to enhance accessibility for First Nations persons with disabilities, both within and outside their communities.95 81. The Special Rapporteur commends the practice of a growing number of Indigenous Peoples organizations of providing interpretation in sign language during meetings, as exemplified by the Māori Peoples in New Zealand during the 2024 conference entitled “Designing our Constitution”, which he attended. 82. The Fund for the Development of the Indigenous Peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean has collaborated with Indigenous disability organizations to integrate the rights of Indigenous persons with disabilities into its main programmes. The Network of Indigenous Women with Disabilities supported the creation of a guide protocol for the care of Indigenous women and girls with disabilities during and after COVID-19, designed to minimize the risk of transmission of COVID-19. In the guide, holistic, intercultural care and Indigenous medicine are emphasized. In addition, the network assisted the Fund for the Development of the Indigenous Peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean in 15 economic reactivation projects led by Indigenous women, focusing on sustainable economic development and cultural identity.
