Project background

HI has been operating in Palestine since 1996 and has developed relationship with several disability stakeholders. According to general estimations by WHO, between 7-10% of a given population would have some kind of disability; in the Palestinian Territories, this implies that the figure would be around 270 000 – 390 000 people. Regular assessments were done in order to identify needs of PWDs in oPt. The findings of the last assessment are described below:

-Lack of information of PwDs on services available and how to access it
-Lack of quality and appropriate assistive devices
-Low quality of rehabilitation services not addressing the users' needs
-Limited accessibility to rehabilitation services for PwDs
-Increased number of PwDs and deterioration of the socio-economical situation in the OPT

Project Specific Objective: Persons with disabilities can access to holistic physical rehabilitation services in the West Bank
-Expected result 1:  The physical rehabilitation centres operating in the West Bank deliver holistic services.
-Expected result 2:     PwDs are able to obtain a diverse range of adapted to their specific needs and affordable assistive devices (AD's)
-Expected result 3: Accessible transportation options facilitate PwDs' access to rehabilitation services
-Expected result 4 :   PwDs, their families and all relevant stakeholders have information about the existing rehabilitation services
