2). DISABILITY RIGHTS PROJECT PRESENTATION
The Disability Rights project initially was a 3 years project starting
in 2007 and ending in 2010. The Disability Rights project (DR Project),
funded by Irish Aid was designed as a continuation of Advocacy Inclusion
project (AIP) funded by the EU. The DR project would continue the
promotion of the rights of persons with disability and empower partners
organization to become actors in the rights promotions to community and
government offices. Hence some activities in DR project were follow up
activities from the former project and the partnership established would
be empowered through capacity building process.
By the year 2009 this project has conducted a mid term evaluation and
the follow-up of the mid-term evaluation of the project was the change
to focus more on capacity building at grassroots level targeting our
partners organizations to engage in disability rights advocacy.
Recommendations from the evaluation also brought changes in the
intervention area, from the initial 15 provinces to 9 provinces, which
are: West Java, Central Java, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta, East Java,
Bali, Nusa Tenggara Timur, Nusa Tenggara Barat, Sulawesi Selatan and
Gorontalo.
This approach led to several changes in activity and in turn required
changes to the proposal that brought the request of a 3 years no cost
extension starting in year 2009, which was approved by Irish Aid.
