What is the Commonwealth Parliamentarians with Disabilities (CPwD) network?

Commonwealth Parliamentarians with Disabilities is a network within the CPA that aims to encourage Commonwealth Parliaments to enable effective and full participation of persons with disabilities at all levels.

It was established in 2017 to champion and increase the representation of persons with disabilities in Commonwealth Parliaments and to work towards the mainstreaming of disability considerations in all CPA activities and programmes.
