Annex 2: The SDG targets directly addressed by the Joint Programme 2.1 List of targets The JP will directly address the following SDG targets: o 1.3.
Implement nationally appropriate social protection systems and measures for all, including floors, and by 2030 achieve substantial coverage of the poor and the vulnerable; o 3.7 By 2030, ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health-care services, including for family planning, information and education, and the integration of reproductive health into national strategies and programmes; o 5.1.
End all forms of discrimination against all women and girls everywhere; o 5.6 Ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights as agreed in accordance with the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development and the Beijing Platform for Action and the outcome documents of their review conferences; o 8.5 By 2030, achieve full and productive employment and decent work for all women and men, including for young people and persons with disabilities, and equal pay for work of equal value; o 10.2 By 2030, empower and promote the social, economic and political inclusion of all, irrespective of age, sex, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion or economic or other status; o 10.3 Ensure equal opportunity and reduce inequalities of outcome, including by eliminating discriminatory laws, policies and practices and promoting appropriate legislation, policies and action in this regard; o 16.7 Ensure responsive, inclusive, participatory and representative decision-making at all levels; o 17.18 Fully operationalize the technology bank and science, technology and innovation capacity-building mechanism for least developed countries by 2017 and enhance the use of enabling technology, in particular information and communications technology.
In addition to the aforementioned SDG targets, which are nationalized by Georgia, the JP will contribute to the implementation of SDG Targets related to the employment that unfortunately are not nationalized by Georgia.
While the PUNOs will not report on the progress of these targets, the achieved results will positively contribute to the declared policy goals of the government of Georgia as unemployment is considered as one of the major developmental challenges with 12.7% unemployment in the country.8 2.2 Expected SDG impact Through its inter-sectoral focus on PwDs as the category of persons most at risk of “being left behind”, the JP will drive progress across a range of SDGs, including Goals 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, 16 and 17.
Transforming health and social services, as well as social protection entitlements in line with the social model of disability will contribute to achieving the selected targets.

It is expected that this JP will play an important role in protecting, promoting and fulfilling the human rights of PwDs including with a focus on women and girls, and ensure that they as the rights-holders enjoy the rights granted by the CRPD and CEDAW while achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The JP will promote the development of major driving pillars of change, such as policy, capacity and accessibility specifically focusing on providing rights-based and gender-responsive services to address gender-based violence and sexual and reproductive health and rights for women as well as children and young persons with disabilities.
Preliminary findings from the Georgia Mainstreaming, Acceleration and Policy Support (MAPS) exercise identify PwDs as the group that is most penalized by the two most serious SDG bottlenecks in Georgia: 8.5 (full employment) and 10.2 (inclusion for all).

Unlocking progress for PwDs will thus give fresh momentum to the SDGs and it will accelerate and speed up the process in many directions.
2.3 Relevant objective(s) from the national SDG framework 8 https://www.geostat.ge/en/modules/categories/38/employment-and-unemployment The SDG national indicator framework is finalized and awaiting approval from the Prime Minister.

The Administration of the Government of Georgia (AOG) which is responsible for coordination and monitoring of SDG implementation uses the nationalized SDG matrix9 as a guiding document.
Therefore, the present JP is based on the matrix, findings of the MAPS mission and national policy documents in the area of social protection and inclusion, as well as human rights.

The national authorities of Georgia have repeatedly expressed their commitment to the 2030 Agenda.

The Goals and Targets of the SDGs have been mainstreamed in many policy documents and action plans.
Georgia submitted the first Voluntary National Report (VNR) on implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals in September 2015.

The second VNR is planned to be submitted in 2020.


The targets of nationalized SDGs relevant for the project are: 1.3 Social protection; 3.7 Sexual and Reproductive health; 5.1 Gender discrimination; 5.6 Access to sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights; 8.5 Full employment; 10.2 Inclusion of all; 10.3 Eliminate Discrimination; 16.7 Inclusive decision-making;17.18 Capacity building for data.
Annex 3: Brief overview of the Theory of Change of the Joint Programme 3.1 Summary: The Theory of Change (ToC) for the JP is based on the assumption that actions need to be taken in two directions simultaneously in order to bring a sustainable societal change and tackle the obstacles that hinder the ability of PwDs to effectively enjoy their rights to social protection, healthcare, education, employment and participation: ● Top-down: through policies, legislation and institutions that are reformed and capacitated to conform with the norms stipulated in the CRPD; and ● Bottom-up: through strong empowerment of PwDs to claim their rights.
The JP includes a combination of top-down and bottom-up approaches as a crucial condition for achieving sustainable changes and for transforming the quality of life of PwDs.

The 6 involved UN agencies will cooperate intensively with PwDs and civil society organizations led by PwDs, as well as with a range of national and local institutions (including different line ministries at national level and municipal authorities at local level) and private-sector employers.
Two years and the available funding will be sufficient to initiate a transformation and establish the mechanisms for sustained change from the medical to the social model of disability and to achieve tangible results in the country.
3.2 List of main ToC assumptions to be monitored: ▪ The Government of Georgia at central and local levels is willing to tackle the problems faced by PwDs, however, it lacks adequate expertise, capacity and resources; ▪ The 6 involved UN organizations are in the best position and have relevant capacity to assist the Government in overcoming the critical barriers hindering the effective exercise of the rights of PwDs; ▪ DPOs and parents of children with disabilities are eager to intensify and upscale their advocacy campaigns and have the potential to become true agents of change; ▪ Government initiates policy initiatives to address the institutionalization of the new disability status determination system, including allocating sufficient funds.
