Description
The U.S. Mission to Vietnam, through U.S. Embassy Hanoi and the Department of State’s Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs, supports a comprehensive disability program in Ca Mau and Quang Ngai. The program addresses gaps in health, rehabilitation, and social services while improving disability policy implementation, public attitudes, accessibility, and institutional capacity.
Primary beneficiaries are persons with severe physical, mobility, cognitive, or developmental disabilities, regardless of cause. Priorities include severe disabilities in areas heavily affected by Agent Orange/dioxin, disabilities resulting from unexploded ordnance accidents, and children with identified disabilities. Individual needs assessments and case management guide support. The program also strengthens service providers, caregivers, families, and disability organizations to sustain services and improve social participation beyond the award period.
