- Allocating seats for persons with disabilities in capacity-building programs
- Participation of persons with disabilities in the design of humanitarian programs in general (camps) and programs that target them in particular
- Start designing humanitarian programs that directly target this segment
- Focusing on designing advocacy and lobbying programs to ensure the rights of persons with disabilities in situations of risk and humanitarian disaster.
