Dear Lok Pu Simaneth,
I really appreciate your high collaboration with Disability Action Council (DAC). I will talk with Executive Director and Ms. Tith Heing Seka, Livelihood Coordinator for further discuss how Disability Action Council, could work with Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training. I also would like to tell you that, presently, DAC has more than 45 members; local and international NGOs. And all of them, are working for disability sector. In fact, to have better development on disability sector, DAC have formed many committee; Inclusive Education, Livelihood, Rehab and ….in order to have positive changes on disability sector. As a result, the committee meetings are organized every once or twice a month, aiming to share experience, find out challenging, collaboration and further discuss how to have better plan for development on disability sector.
And there are another outcome that unforgettable is; DAC and members especially Disability Mainstreaming Inclusive Committee (IC), found some comments and submitted to the line ministries, as a result, in the first draft on NSDP update 2009-2013, disability sector is included. It is the positive change for development in Cambodia on disability sector.
