Personnel program
The Mini-Programme encompasses a Personnel Programme. This enables Danish disability organisations to post development workers abroad to serve, for instance, as liaison officers for various DPOD member organisations and their partners in the South, whether it be for several years or short periods.
The purposes of the postings are partly to contribute to the organisational development of the partner organisations in the developing countries, partly to organise new groups of persons with disabilities and partly to build up the specific knowledge of the partners. The purpose of the personnel programme is also to contribute to the exchange of experiences between the partners in the South and the partners in the North. Further, the purpose is to improve the knowledge of development work in the DPOD member organisations in Denmark and thereby further a popular basis and public participation in the development activities in the disability organisations.
- Timeframe: Development workers can either be posted for a longer period of time (2-3 years) or a shorter period of time (3-6 months).
- Where: The posting can be to a country where DPOD or a member organisation has a Mini-programme supported project and to an organisation that either DPOD or the member organisation has collaboration with.
