A meeting was held with the World Bank mission at the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of Population.
Deputy minister of Labour and Social Protection of Population Anar Bayramov noted the successful cooperation experience between the Ministry and the World Bank over the past period and provided information on the reforms carried out in the fields of disability assessment and rehabilitation in recent years in our country.
It was highlighted that the digital infrastructure of the disability assessment system has been established and is continuously improved. It was noted that since 1 July 2022, based on advanced international practice, disability assessment has been conducted on a broader scale and implemented according to the percentage of loss of bodily functions under the new criteria. The work done in the provision of rehabilitation services and assistive devices, as well as innovations in this field, was also brought to attention.
Members of the mission — World Bank Country Manager Stefanie Stallmeister, Senior Social Protection Specialists Marijana Jarasevic and Aleksandra Posarac, and Operations Analyst Nigar Saidikhova — shared their views on the reforms being implemented.
During the meeting, the World Bank’s new advisory services and analytical research within the disability system were presented, and an exchange of views on future cooperation in the field of disability took place.
