Who We Are
We are a network of organizations and institutions coalesced to meet the goals of the UNCRPD and its implementation in Liberia. As a network, we plan to harness and leverage the synergies of individual work, build networks, and coordinate actions in pursuit of empowerment and support of persons with disabilities. Our network consists of International and local organizations as well as actors including Government institutions working in the field of disability, human rights and social inclusion under the banner, the Alliance on Disability in Liberia to collectively advance advocacy aimed at the realization of the rights of persons with disabilities as outlined in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD). In this light, we pool resources and coordinate actions to advocate for the Disable Community.
Our Mission
To advance the inclusion of persons with disabilities on an equal basis with others in Liberia, through collective actions.
