Teresa Arce
Peruvian lawyer working on disability and social protection policy at Peru’s national disability authority, Conadis. I led the conceptual and initial policy design of the country’s first deinstitutionalization strategy for Conadis’ long-term care services for persons with disabilities, currently reaching nearly 500 people nationwide. I also coordinated the first nationwide supervision of all 26 Regional Disability Offices and led the initial design of two community-based service models that lay the groundwork for a future national care system. My work focuses on translating human rights standards into the operational design and implementation of public policy.
