The government of Ethiopia has made multiple commitments aimed at supporting the rights of those with disabilities, beginning with the country’s 1995 Constitution, its 2010 ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and further strengthened by its 2018 commitments to inclusive education at the world’s first Disability Summit. However, much work remains to be done if the inclusive society envisioned by the 2012 National Plan of Action of Persons with Disabilities is to achieve its goals.
