387. Regarding social protection of older persons, several benefits are available. In the first place, the Togolese Pensions Scheme is available for older persons who were senior civil in the civil service, and secondly, the National Social Security Scheme for older persons who are permanent staff of the State, those in the private sector, and quite recently, those in the informal economy. Nevertheless, it is obvious that, for not having been declared at the Fund for various reasons, several older people are without social security cover, which deprives them of a minimum of income. Several actions have been taken in order to ensure that older persons enjoy their rights: - The continued sensitization since 2012 on the protection of the older persons and intergenerational solidarity as part of the International Day of Older Persons; - The development and implementation since 2014 of the programme for the protection and harnessing of the potential of older persons (2014-2018) which enabled a study to be carried out in 2015 on senior volunteerism and production of a database on older persons; - The operationnalization of the National Inclusive Finance Fund that enables vulnerable populations to have access to funding (January 2014). 388. With regard to persons with disabilities, Law N°2004-005 of 23 April, 2004 concerning social care for disabled persons provides measures to promote the enjoyment of their rights in the same way as people without disabilities. With Togo’s ratification of the convention concerning the rights of people with disabilities on 1st March, 2011, some provisions of the Law no longer corresponded to the content of the Convention. Thus, a wide ranging of review has started in order to revisit the content of this law and to align it with the requirements of the convention. 389. To improve the living conditions of the people with disabilities and to take care of some of the handicaps, some actions such as the following have been taken: - The creation of a national centre for orthopaedic equipment with branches in the five regions; - Creation of two vocational training centres; - Introduction of the theme of child protection and people with disabilities in the curricula of the national school of social training, including the curricula of paramedics. - Validation of the national strategy for the protection and promotion of persons with disabilities in Togo and its 2013-2015 operational plan in March 2013; - Validation of an inclusive access document to the labour market on 23rd January, 2014; 114
