Our partner LIR CD organized a training this week titled “Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Local Communities – Policies and Regulations”, as part of the Empowered – Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities, Regional Cooperation and Development in the Western Balkans project.
The training brought together local stakeholders and DPO representatives with the aim of strengthening their capacity to implement inclusive policies in practice. The program focused on understanding the legal framework in Bosnia and Herzegovina, empowering persons with disabilities for the labor market, professional training, employment, and workplace adaptation.
Special attention was given to the role of public funds and socially responsible businesses in the inclusion process.
The session was interactive and rich in experience sharing, practical examples, and open dialogue on current challenges and opportunities at the local level.
This activity is part of a broader regional process that, through the Empowered WB project, connects Western Balkan countries in a shared mission – to promote the rights, access, and employment of persons with disabilities.
