Disability & Older Age Working Group (DaOAWG)

…The World Rehabilitation Fund (WRF), HelpAge International (HAI), Handicap International (HI), and Movement for Peace (MPDL), in consultation with several concerned international and native organizations (DPOs, CBOs and NGOs) launched, in October 2013, a "Disability and Older Age Working Group" (DaOAWG) that aims to advocate for the needs and rights of persons with disabilities and older persons among refugees from Syria and in host communities in Lebanon.

The DaOAWG has been working to promote a rights-based approach and to ensure the visibility and inclusion of persons with disabilities and older persons, as cross-cutting issues in the humanitarian response to the Syrian crisis in Lebanon.
