São Vicente: Adevic steps up training to promote inclusion and employability for people with disabilities

Mindelo, 8 July (Inforpress) – The Cape Verdean Association for the Visually Impaired (Adevic) launched a training programme today in São Vicente to strengthen the institutional capacity of its members and promote the inclusion and employability of people with disabilities.

The training takes place over four days, until Monday the 13th, as part of the "Collective Action for Human Rights" project, funded by the African Union of the Blind.

According to the president of Adevic, Marciano Monteiro, the initiative aims to raise awareness among local and national authorities about defending the rights of people with disabilities, not only visual disabilities, but all types of disabilities.

At the same time, it aims to strengthen the skills of the association's members so that they can provide higher quality services and respond more effectively to the needs of people with disabilities.
