Over its 49 years, the current Institute for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, I.P. (IDiPD) has developed its mission in close collaboration with the Non-Governmental Organisations of Persons with Disabilities (NGDOs)They recognise key partners in building a more inclusive and accessible society.

NGOPDs play a key role in the participation of persons with disabilities, working with communities on a daily basis, contributing to the identification of needs, by promoting the rights of persons with disabilities and their families.

With a national, regional or local scope, NGOPDs ensure a close connection to the concrete realities of the people they represent.

The Institute has sought to strengthen cooperation with this associative movement, recognising its essential role in promoting the human rights and citizenship of persons with disabilities. In addition to Operating Support of national organizations, we have developed the Project Finance Programme laying down the conditions for accessing, allocating and implementing the financial support provided by the Institute to the NGOPDs. Projects promoting the rights of persons with disabilities and contributing to their participation in society are supported, in line with the principles of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. More than a financial instrument, this support is a concrete expression of a public policy built in partnership.

Supporting the intervention capacity of NGOsPD enables the development of initiatives close to people, and their life contexts, giving space to innovation, participation and the search for answers to the challenges that persist. Each supported project represents an opportunity to turn ideas into responses, identify new solutions and create the conditions for more people to exercise their rights and participate fully in society.

On this 49th º anniversary, IDiPD reinforces the importance of these strategic partnerships that have been essential to promote best practices, share knowledge, develop projects and raise society's awareness of a culture of rights and full participation of all people.

The present also develops in partnership!
