While this toolkit is primary for UNICEF employees involved in constructions, operations focal points, programme colleagues in charge of construction, this toolkit can also be useful for UNICEF partners, Organizations of person with disabilities and other stakeholders.

It could also contribute to the implementation of UN Disability Inclusion Strategy and contribute to achieving and exceeding most of the indicators as lack of physical accessibility is one of the barriers to inclusion and specifically on Indicators 6 on accessibility, 6.1 accessibility of conferences and events and indicator 5 on working with persons with disabilities.  The toolkit will help to report on UNICEF UNCT score cards and build capacity of  implementing partners on accessibility.
