1. PURPOSE

The pandemic has been and is going to have a significant impact on the participation in social activities of persons with disabilities, as well as the monitoring role of the Organizations of Persons with Disabilities. With a lot of enthusiastic sharings and comments at the workshop on December 3, we can see that persons with disabilities have been coping with many difficulties and challenges in the context of Covid-19. Luckily, there are adaptable solutions and opportunities for their better participation. Hence, to search for  effectively equal participation of persons with disabilities to adapt in and after the pandemic, Action Community Development Institute (ACDC) launched the Initiative Contest “Disability Inc and Covid-19 Adaptation”. For this contest, we call for the participation of not only persons with disabilities and their community, but also the whole society to promote disability incl in the context of the “new normal”.

We hope that this contest will attract the attention of the community and widely share the message of leadership, and effective participation of persons with disabilities. It is also expected to promote the role and contribution of the young generation in supporting the persons with disabilities community in Vietnam.
