To increase Grantee membership in three districts in Rwanda (Muhanga, Musanze and Nyagatare) in the Central, Northern and Eastern provinces; and to train district officials and the police about the rights of deaf/hard of hearing people under the CRPD to reduce rights violations by police and district administrators. The project will also build the capacity of Grantee by creating a database to register members, improving awareness and knowledge of the CRPD as an advocacy tool among newly registered members, and developing a communication strategy to facilitate linkages between Grantee central and its members. The project aims to identify 600 training participants from among new members in the districts of Muhanga, Musanze and Nyagatare.
