Project:

Improving access of Persons with Disabilities and in particular Children
with Cerebral Palsy and Children with multiple disabilities of the Gaza
Strip to services adapted to their needs, funded by ECHO



Background:



Handicap International (HI) has been operating in Palestine since 1996
and has developed relationship with several disability stakeholders.
According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics there are
around 4,048,403 million Palestinian living in the OPT (2,513,283
million in West Bank and 1,535,120 million in Gaza strip), 40.8% of them
(15-19) years of age, 29.4% of them (15-29) years of age and 59.2% of
them (20-29) years of age. According to general estimations by WHO,
between 7-10% of a given population would have some kind of disability;
in the Palestinian Territories, this implies that the figure would be
around 284,000 – 404,000 people.



According to the last records, the prevalence of disability in the OPT
was about 7% (relaxed definition) with similar prevalence in each of the
West Bank and Gaza Strip. While the prevalence of disability using the
narrow definition was 2.7% distributed as 2.9% in the West Bank and 2.4%
in Gaza Strip; while it was 2.9% for Males and 2.5% for females[1]. 
Taken together, this implies that the total number of persons with
disability in opts is around 113,000-287,000.





Scope of Work



HI is running a project to improve the services provided for children
with cerebral palsy and multiple disabilities. In Gaza early detection
system is not yet organized in systematic way. It needs comprehensive
intervention including the medical staff, pediatrician, other health
professionals, families & young couples engaged or recently married.



We aim at increasing the awareness of recently married or still engaged
couples about the reproductive health & delivery, intrauterine
development of the fetus, normal development of the child, vaccination
& gender roles and influence of psychodynamic within the family on
the psychosocial development of the child.  Young couples should have
the basic knowledge about the previously mentioned topics in order to
assist in the early detection of the disabilities and being oriented to
seek appropriate diagnosis & treatment.



Many young couples are not aware about these topics staying out of
needed early detection & intervention process, education and
acquiring skills needed to ensure healthy growing of their children and
the spirit of respect for the differences and tolerance.
