Overall Aim
Persons with disabilities claim their rights, access services and exert influence on matters that affect their lives.
Specific Aim

It will also contribute to and ensure that girls and boys with disabilities learn in and are supported by an inclusive and equitable quality education system in Puntland and Jubaland. The project plans to expand availability and accessibility to inclusive education services for children with disabilities as result of improved learning environment, advocacy, governance and evidence-based management of inclusive education at all levels (school, district, regional and national).
