Official Papers

In this section you will find important historical documents that are essential to understanding the evolving commitments by governments to reach the goal of universal access. In these documents, particularly in the Political Declaration, you will find evidence of the critical role civil society has played and continues to play in identifying areas where essential action is needed, where reasonable solutions have been recommended, and how civil society assesses the quality of progress.

The effectiveness of civil society in influencing decision makers depends in part on well grounded knowledge of the process, the debate and resulting policy outcomes. Here you will find important information that will help you to better understand where we have come from and stimulate your thinking as to where we need to go.
