International Cooperation and Humanitarian Action

At EDF, an energetic team is working on international cooperation and humanitarian action.

EDF has an active role to play to ensure persons with disabilities and organisations of persons with disabilities (DPOs) are included in EU international cooperation and humanitarian response.

To achieve this result, we collaborate with a range of partners on various projects, advocating for the rights of persons with disabilities around the world.
