The involvement of our key stakeholders emphasize that the project will ensure that both private and public sectors respect the rights of individuals with disabilities and involvement in society. Ministries of Education and Social Services, Teacher Trainer Educators (Universities) and their student teacher target group, Government & State Employee and Policymakers and NGOs including volunteers, social workers and parents (Non-university teachers).
By the end of the project knowledge, public awareness and commitment among duty bearers (teachers, authorities, politicians and parents) has increased and the communities have embraced more inclusive and proactive approaches to disabled persons' welfare.
Primary and secondary schools in the PC countries will be systematically informed. Informing other non-Consortium universities (both public and private) and authorities (national, regional and local) and NGOs in the PCs and the ethical and practical range of benefits to all parties involved will enhance a sense of ownership and motivation during and after the project.
