For the existing text, substitute:
43.A Poverty Eradication Unit had been set up and was in the process of defining poverty in Fiji in its context — in terms of access to food or in terms of cash. Fiji had signed the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and was in the process of ratifying it. In the meantime, the National Council for the Disabled was developing a policy for men and women alike aimed at developing a more inclusive society and dismantling the barriers against the disabled in social and economic life. The main strategies were to empower especially women and children with disabilities to understand and exercise their rights, and to ensure that human rights and development issues were included in governmental, non‑governmental and community programmes for women. For example, the priority for 2010 was to construct one more centre for the disabled on one of the larger outlying islands, with a commitment to construct others in the future.
Paragraph 52
