PUSPADI Bali and FGD Disability Assessment with Bappenas

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.

On this occasion, we also invited our colleague I Wayan Damai as Member of the Board of Trustees of the Cahaya Mutiara Ubud Foundation to jointly provide suggestions and constructive criticism in the FGD. Below are some of the things we discussed including the initiation of the Task Force for the Fulfillment of the Rights of Adaptive Aids which we have formed to get support from Bappenas and the Central Government.
