Overview
Cambodian Disabled People’s Organization was established in 1994 as a movement of Cambodian persons with disabilities. CDPO is a membership based, non-governmental organization, representing persons with disabilities in Cambodia and working towards becoming “The voice of persons with disabilities in Cambodia”. CDPO has differentiated itself from other Cambodian disability organizations by building a national network of member DPOs/WWDFs. CDPO does not provide goods or rehabilitation services but rather represents DPOs/WWDFs nationally and advocates for their rights and interests as well as helping to build their rights awareness and capacity towards achieving a life with dignity for persons with disabilities.
CDPO endeavors to help empower persons with disabilities to achieve a life of dignity by increasing their level of awareness about their rights and providing relevant information to enable them to claim their rights. CDPO attempts to provide relevant information in a variety of formats appropriate to persons with various types of disabilities through its website.
Objective
To design a new CDPO website with improved accessibility to diverse disability groups, including people with hearing, sight and intellectual impairments.
Expected Outcome
Website designed that is accessible to persons from diverse disability groups, including the sight and hearing impaired and those of intellectual disability by the end of November. The new website will be launched by March 2014.
