Togo launches project for disabled

A project aimed at promoting the implementation of the international convention for the disabled was launched here Thursday, attended by William Williams, the Australian Ambassador in Togo, PANA reported.

The project, financed to the tune of 99,741 Australian dollars, aims at improving significantly the daily life of the disabled, Ebenezer Agordome, the project coordinator, said.

The project is based on the institutional support for the harmonization of laws on education, employment and health of the disabled.

It also aims at the training of the disabled and raising awareness among development stakeholders.

After one year of completion of the project, its promoters intend to put in place a strategy to make the disabled self-sufficient.

The project will enable the disabled to improve their situation through several ways, including the adoption of a couple of laws on health, employment and education.

It will allow achieving intervention strategies launched by the development stakeholders, which will take into account and integrate the marginalized disabled, among others.
