| WCPT/HI SUDA project |
|
This
successful two year project comes to an end on 31 January. Set up as
collaboration between WCPT and Handicap International (HI), with funding
by USAID, the project focused on strengthening physical therapy as a
profession in Mali, Niger and Senegal.
The SUDA Project was set up as a response to professionalise and
strengthen physical therapy services in these conflict-affected
countries for a large population of persons with disabilities. The
quality of physical therapist entry level education was addressed, along
with strengthening the physical therapy national associations there and
securing adequate wheelchair training and provision.

| Handicap International becomes Humanity & Inclusion |
On 24th January Humanity & Inclusion
became the new name of Handicap International's global network. The
organisation, which shared the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997 for its work to
ban anti-personnel landmines, implements more than 300 projects in
about 60 countries.
'Humanity & Inclusion' expresses one of the organisation's central
values, humanity. This is reflected every day in HI's benevolent and
empathetic approach, close proximity with its beneficiaries, and respect
for individuality.
