Project overview:
The program aims to improve the quality of life of persons with disabilities in provinces heavily affected by Agent Orange. In this program, quality of life is considered across four key domains: physical and psychological health, social relationships, social living, and habitat. The program adopts a comprehensive and individualized approach in which interventions are designed to respond to specific needs and ensure that an appropriate continuum of services is available at the right time.
To improve the quality of life for people with disabilities (including physical, psychological, social, and living disabilities), the project will focus on improving access to rehabilitation services, social support services, and developing an enabling environment for people with disabilities. Specifically, the project design will pursue the following specific objectives:
1) Rehabilitation services expanded; health status and quality of life of persons with disabilities improved.
2) Social services expanded; social inclusion and direct support to persons with disabilities enhanced.
3) Disability policies improved; public attitude is improved; barriers are reduced to ensure social integration of persons with disabilities.
