Disability Rights Fund

Description

• The Disability Rights Fund envisions a world where persons with disabilities participate fully in society and enjoy equal rights and opportunities. To accomplish this vision, DRF supports disabled persons organizations (DPOs) in the developing world to take the lead in advocating for the human rights of persons with disabilities at local and national levels, utilizing the mechanism of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) as a platform for rights advocacy. DRF focuses our grantmaking on building the capacity of DPOs to be full and equal participants in the achievement of rights for the worlds one billion people with disabilities.Our approach and philosophy form our grantmaking programs are based on the respect for these principles:Learning and Change: Embracing an open approach to the work we are doing to advance rights of persons with disabilities. This requires learning from our actions, responding to needs as well as successes, and changing course when appropriate;Partnerships: Encouraging the pursuit of a variety of partnerships as part of a strategy to increase capacity and advance rights;Accountability: Committing to take responsibility for ones actions, especially when in a position of power;A Culture of Rights: Promoting rights-based policies and programs;Sustainability: Recognizing the need for community-led processes that can be sustained long-term in an environmentally friendly manner.
