Despite the 2010 Service Circular No. 16 requiring all ministries to ensure at least one percent of their employees comprise disabled workers, only two ministries have recorded an average number of disabled employees exceeding one percent: the Ministry of Women, Family, and Community Development (MWFCD) and the Ministry of Defense.
