About PDAD

Established in 1998, the Persons with Disabilities Affairs Division (PDAD) is a cornerstone organization dedicated to the empowerment and advocacy of individuals with disabilities. Our commitment is to ensure their full and effective participation in all aspects of societal life. PDAD actively engages in developing and implementing policies that promote inclusivity, accessibility, and equal opportunities in education, employment, and public life. Our mission is to foster an environment where individuals with disabilities can thrive, contribute, and enjoy rights on an equal basis with others. We champion this cause by collaborating with government agencies, disability advocacy groups, and the private sector to create sustainable and impactful programs.

Our strategic initiatives include targeted advocacy efforts that influence legislation and public policy, aimed at eliminating discrimination and enhancing accessibility in the workplace, schools, and public spaces. PDAD also focuses on educational outreach, providing resources and support to both individuals with disabilities and the wider community to raise awareness and understanding of disability rights and needs. We organize workshops, seminars, and training sessions that equip individuals with disabilities with the necessary skills to succeed and lead independent lives. Furthermore, PDAD is at the forefront of technology adoption, facilitating access to innovative assistive technologies that enhance communication, mobility, and daily functionality for persons with disabilities.
