Director of the Institute for Community Development Studies Nguyen Thi Lan Anh said that ACDC is a local non-governmental organization and an organization of people with disabilities (PWDs) in Vietnam that protects the rights of PWDs and ensures their social integration into all areas of life.
With funding from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), ACDC began implementing projects related to PWDs in Quang Tri since 2019 with the aim of increasing participation, enhancing status and improving the quality of life of PWDs.
From 2022, ACDC is one of the partners implementing the activities of the Inclusion Project 1 in Cam Lo, Trieu Phong and Vinh Linh districts with the overall goal of improving the quality of life for people with disabilities.
The Inclusion Project I is a component of the Project to Support Improvement of the Quality of Life of People with Disabilities in Provinces Heavily Sprayed with Agent Orange, implemented in Quang Tri, Quang Nam and Thua Thien Hue provinces, funded by USAID, approved by the Prime Minister in July 2021.
