  Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Compatriots,
  
  The time has come for our country to turn an important page in its social history. Today, we are called to support a profound and ambitious reform in favor of our brothers and sisters living with disabilities. Although Law No. 2010/002 and its implementing decree laid the foundations for legal protection, challenges remain immense: insufficient enforcement, lack of accessibility, absence of genuine and lasting support.
  
  This reform proposes a genuine paradigm shift. First, we want to highlight the real needs of persons with disabilities, based on a comprehensive national study conducted among them and their families. This precise diagnosis will be the strong foundation for clear and adapted measures.
  
  Our project aims at real inclusion in all areas of daily life: reforms to guarantee universal accessibility in infrastructures and transportation, massive strengthening of inclusive education and professional training, mandatory employment quotas in public and private sectors with incentives for companies, reinforced financial aid, coverage of care and equipment.
  
  Furthermore, the creation of an independent national agency dedicated to monitoring and coordinating disability actions ensures better governance and transparency. Lastly, the swift ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities will align our country with international standards, demonstrating that Cameroon is seriously committed to its disabled citizens.
  
  This is much more than a simple administrative reform: it is a promise of dignity, fairness, and solidarity. It is a commitment to build a Cameroon where everyone has their place, and no one is left behind.
  
  I warmly invite you all to massively support this text so we can build together an inclusive, just, and humane future.
