DPOD’s development work

On the international arena DPOD is strongly committed to the advancement of equal opportunities for people with disabilities through establishing strong, national, decentralised and democratic organisations for them in the form of both individual and umbrella organisations.

DPOD's main objective is to establish and develop organisations which will ensure that people with disabilities receive the opportunity to speak for themselves and influence society, thus achieving a higher degree of respect or the rights of people with disabilities and their integration into society.

In Ghana, India, Nepal, Philippines, South Africa, Uganda and Vietnam the work is carried out in accordance with the guidelines for the Miniprogramme strategy, which outlines the focus and work areas of DPOD and frames the economic possibilities of the activities.
