Dubai: Dubai will have a database for people with disabilities by 2017 to help develop policies and services that best integrate them into society, it was announced on Monday.
There is currently insufficient statistics about people with disabilities, so compiling a database is a huge step for the emirate, which plans on becoming 100 per cent disability-friendly by the year 2020, an official said during a two-day Dubai Inclusive Development Forum 2015 here.
Establishing the city as a fully inclusive, disability-friendly city by 2020 is the objective of the ‘My Community’ initiative, launched in 2013, with the aim of providing equal opportunities for people with disability.
