Action on Disability
and Development (ADD) is a UK development agency
established in 1985. ADD has been active in
Cambodia since 1995. Our approach is “Rights-based
for Development”. We work with people with disability
by building capacity of persons with disabilities
and their organization.

ADD views disability
as a human rights or social issue related to
attitude and access to equal opportunities.
We resist definitions which related to the impairment
of an individual, and instead embrace the social
model of disability as opposed to the medical
model.

ADD believes that all people have the same fundamental
rights to determine their own futures and control
decisions that affect their lives, and that
all people have the same rights to:

By facilitating
the growth of the disabled people’s movement
in developing countries, ADD believes sustainable
social change can be achieved to ensure a more
inclusive environment. ADD works in partnership
with DPOs, to help them gain the capacity to
lobby and campaign at grassroots and national
levels.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Once disabled
people’s organizations are active and representative
and have taken their rightful place within civil
society, ADD’s work will be done.
