PUSPADI Bali is not only advocating at the district, city and provincial levels but is also active at the central level. On Thursday, June 17, 2021, PUSPADI Bali together with several other OPDs accepted the invitation from Bappenas to conduct a Disability Study FGD in the fields of education, employment, health and inclusive economy by taking a location in one of the hotels in the Nusa Dua area.
