PREFACE In response to a request from the Government of Nicaragua, the Government of Japan decided to conduct a study on the Master Plan on Forest Management for Disaster Prevention in the Northern Pacific Region in the Republic of Nicaragua and entrusted to the study to the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). JICA selected and dispatched a study team headed by Mr. Noriyuki Anyoji of the Japan Forest Technology Association and consists of the Japan Forest Technology Association and Sanyu Consultants Inc., between December, 2000 and July, 2004. The team held discussions with the officials concerned of the Government of Nicaragua and conducted field surveys at the study area. Upon returning to Japan, the team conducted further studies and prepared this final report. I hope that this report will contribute to the promotion of this project and to the enhancement of friendly relationship between our two countries.

    United Nations CRPD/C/NIC/1 Convention on the Rights Distr.: General 20 July 2020 of Persons with Disabilities English Original: Spanish English, Russian and Spanish only Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Initial report submitted by Nicaragua under article 35 of the Convention, due in 2009*, ** [Date received: 8 May 2019] * The present document is being issued without formal editing. ** The annexes may be consulted in the files of the Committee secretariat. GE.20-09725 (E) 231020 261020 CRPD/C/NIC/1 I. Introduction 1. Nicaragua has a land area of 130,373.5 square kilometres (km2),1 which has now been extended by 90,000 km2 of the Caribbean Sea, an area it obtained the rights to through the International Court of Justice. Serving a population of 5,954,900 inhabitants, 2 the Government of Reconciliation and National Unity takes seriously its commitment to provide comprehensive support to persons with disabilities through social, economic and political programmes. Persons with disabilities themselves drive progress in the attainment of their rights through the direct participation of their representatives in federations and associations. 2. The State and Government have led a determined fight to restore the rights of the Nicaraguan population through State institutions, trade organizations and social movements, thus fully re-establishing lost rights that were denied for 16 years by the neoliberal leaders who reversed the progress that had been achieved during the first phase of the Sandinista Popular Revolution in the 1980s. 3. The 2012–2016 National Human Development Plan sets out lines of action for building an egalitarian, fair and compassionate society that is committed to the fundamental values of Nicaraguans from all of the country’s communities, and especially from historically excluded groups, such as persons with disabilities, that are now being prioritized and actively integrated.
