Governance and Advocacy Programs
DEAFOP’s Vision is an inclusive society in which Deaf and disabled persons can enjoy their human rights and achieve their full potential however for this to be realized concerted partnership with government and private institution is necessary in mainstreaming disability agenda
It’s for this reason that as an organization we have committed ourselves to partner and Lobby private and government institution to embrace disability mainstreaming in their respective works
Some of past projects that we have implemented toward this include

- Training and linking groups for persons with disability with government affirmative opportunity
