Approach & Strategies
: As its strategy, Global Fund for Disability and Development (GFDD)
particularly focuses to ensure the maximum participation of women, children and
youth wherever required and relevant and particularly if the program has any direct
or indirect impacts on their lives. The Organization strongly believes in the
true and active participation of all key stakeholders, particularly the local
communities or program beneficiaries. Fair efforts are taken to ensure that
stakeholders participate and contribute at all the stages of the interventions.
The overall approach of work also identifies the gender sensitivities if any
related to the program and strategically addresses the same. Global Fund for
Disability and Development (GFDD), as its overall implementation approach,
takes carefully into account the local culture and traditions and fully
respects the same.
