| Kind of projects funded |
| Which are the foundation’s/grant’s priorities (goals, objectives)? |
The Mental Disability Advocacy Program (MDAP) works to challenge the stigma and prejudice faced by people with mental disabilities, addressing the barriers to their full participation in society. Activities include:
1. Training programs for journalists and NGOs; supporting local and national media campaigns.
For example, in 2003 MDAP held two training seminars for journalists from across the region that focused on responsible media coverage of issues related to people with mental disabilities.
2. Encouraging positive media attention by advocating for coverage of community-based alternatives and other initiatives which promote social inclusion.
Among other projects, MDAP is working in collaboration with OSI's Media Program and NGOs across the region to develop and launch public awareness campaigns to raise awareness about mental disability issues. |
