ADD International (Action on Disability and Development), is a UK-based international development fighting for independence, equality and opportunity for disabled people living in poverty in Africa and Asia. ADD has programmes in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Sudan, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda. ADD also directly supports partners in India through ADD India. ADD International was founded in 1985 by Chris Underhill, who formerly founded Thrive and went on to found BasicNeeds. ==Activities== ADD International works with local, regional and national groups run by and for disabled people (known as Disabled People’s Organisations or DPOs). Trough these groups, ADD builds disability movements in Africa and Asia by starting local groups of disabled people, or supporting existing ones, to become strong and sustainable organisations that can have an ever increasing impact. ADD helps then these groups connect with each other to build wider movements and we work with them to promote the rights of disabled people. ADD International also provides the tools, the employment opportunities and the resources for disabled people to achieve their full potential. Through its advocacy work, ADD also aims at influencing governments, international development actors and the private sector to design policies and services at local and global level which take into account the needs of disabled people. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Action on Disability and Development」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
