1-CONTEXT

HI has been operating in Palestine since 1996 and has developed relationship with several disability stakeholders.  According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics there are around 4,048,403 million Palestinian living in the oPt (2,513,283 million in West Bank and 1,535,120 million in Gaza strip). According to general estimations by WHO, between 10-15% of a given population would have some kind of disability; in the Palestinian Territories, this implies that the figure would be around 284,000 – 404,000 people. According to the last records, the prevalence of disability in the oPt was about 7% (relaxed definition) with similar prevalence in each of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. While the prevalence of disability using the narrow definition was 2.7% distributed as 2.9% in the West Bank and 2.4% in Gaza Strip; while it was 2.9% for Males and 2.5% for females.  Taken together, this implies that the total number of PWDs in oPts is around 113,000-287,000.
HI has performed regular assessments in order to identify needs of PWDs in oPt. Main findings of our last needs assessment:

1-Increased number of PWD and deterioration of the socio-economical situation in the OPT,  PWD are one of the most vulnerable groups in this kind of context.

2-Limited access to quality rehabilitation services in relevance to SW due to :
-Limited accessibility to rehabilitation services for PWDs.
-Low quality of rehabilitation services not addressing the users' needs.
-Lack of quality and appropriate assistive devices.
-Lack of information of PWDs on services available and how to access it.

HI current Project (ACIII) ‘Access to Physical Rehabilitation Services for PWD in West Bank” funded by the MoFA of Luxembourg, has addressed the above mentioned main findings of the needs and developed four main Expected results aiming to achieve :

Global objective

A comprehensive approach of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) for Physical rehabilitation is shared amongst service providers in the West Bank.
-Specific Objective

Persons with disabilities can access to holistic physical rehabilitation services in the West Bank.

2-DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUIRED SERVICE PROVISION
