On October 9, 2026, Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan Anh, Director of the Action to the Community Development Institute (ACDC) and full-time Vice President of the Vietnam Federation on Disability (VFD), attended the training programme entitled “Implementing the Plan to Strengthen the Effective Implementation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the Programme to Support Persons with Disabilities for the 2026–2030 Period”, organised by the Department of Social Assistance under the Ministry of Health in Quang Ninh Province.

From July 24 – 26, 2026, ACDC, in coordination with the Quang Ngai Department of Health, implemented a direct support activity for persons with disabilities and their families to improve living conditions and promote community inclusion in five communes: Dak To, Ngok Tu, Sa Loong, Duc Nong, and Bo Y. Through this activity, 53 persons with disabilities and their families received assistive devices and equipment tailored to their needs and actual living conditions, contributing to greater independence in their daily activities.

Every year on December 3, the world celebrates the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPwD) – a moment to honor the roles and contributions of persons with disabilities, and to reaffirm the global commitment to ensuring their full and equal participation in all aspects of social life.

As part of the project “Support to Improve the Quality of Life of Persons with Disabilities in Provinces Heavily Sprayed with Agent Orange” in Binh Dinh and Kon Tum provinces, the component implemented by ACDC, from June 16 to 18, 2025, the Action to the Community Development Institute (ACDC), in coordination with the Department of Health of Binh Dinh Province, carried out the activity “Direct Support for Persons with Disabilities and Their Families to Improve Living Conditions and Promote Social Inclusion” in Tay Giang and Tay Thuan communes, Tay Son District.

To improve the quality and effectiveness of policy advocacy efforts, the project provides training on leadership, life skills, monitoring and evaluation, and policy advocacy for persons with disabilities, their families, persons with severe disabilities, women with disabilities, and potential leaders of Disabled People's Organizations (DPOs).
