the partnership with the NSR is to increase access of PWDs to the project
services. Knowing that the CBO that will host the project services in Tel Al Sultan
area is also a specialized institution in providing services for PWDs, which
will help to target as many of this vulnerable group as possible, where the percentage
of PWDs who will benefit from the project services will reach 33%. Accordingly, sign
language interpreters will be contracted to facilitate handling of persons with
hearing disabilities. And in order to enable CWDs to participate in the structured
PSS sessions, work manuals (I DEAL  BIG DEAL) will be adapted for CWDs
through NSR  the work team will be trained on these adapted manuals to
provide them with the necessary knowledge  skills to work with CWDs.lt/spangtlt/pgt
