FRC promotes disability-inclusive activities in its projects and programmes. Development cooperation projects include vulnerability and capacity assessments (VCA) or community assessments to identify the most vulnerable groups (such as people with disabilities (PWD)) in the target communities. Activities are non-discriminatory and an engagement of all community members is actively promoted.
Yet, FRC has recognized that there is a need to improve the understanding of the specific needs of PWDs among FRC and partner national society staff. Therefore, FRC has established a partnership with Abilis foundation (a Finnish organization working for PWDs) whose expertise has been (and will be) utilized in trainings and in the field work.
