In order to put an end to scattered and isolated initiatives and to better coordinate them, the
government had started trying a few years ago to structure them. This is how was developed
in 2009 with the support of UNICEF, a National Action Plan for disabled people which
revolves around the large following axes:
- Prevention and early detection through studies and the organisation of an information
system in order to improve knowledge on the causes of disabilities and social conditions of
persons with disabilities and promote early Intervention measures;
- Development and support to specialised agencies, disability organisations and communities
that support disabled people in order to increase organisational capacity of institutions and
community support structures;
- Education and literacy of children with disabilities to facilitate access by persons with
disabilities to quality education and appropriate education.
