Within the framework of the initiatives carried out in the previous Agreement aimed at “Improvement of care for the disabled in the Middle East”, which is already finished, and following the North-South-South cooperation strategy, the FPSC and the Lebanese organization Arcenciel aimed to continue and consolidate the work carried out in the region over the last 15 years, giving priority to the transfer of experience and good practices to other organizations and other countries. This transfer was carried out through the institutional strengthening and capacity building of local civil society institutions, in order to enable these institutions to have a greater influence on public strategies, social policies, the protection of disabled people’s rights and their social integration.
Actions were also taken to improve the social integration of disabled people, with special attention paid to all matters related to accessibility.
