Technical Assistance Learning Summary
This learning review summarizes lessons learnt about key grantee achievements and the DRF role in providing support, if any, over a five-year period. A total of 70 organizations, from across four regions, completed questionnaires. The questionnaire was administered between April-May 2022.
Key achievements noted by three quarters of the organizations included:
- Becoming stronger functioning organizations, with clear membership, organizational and governance systems and structures, and robust policies in place. This was particularly emphasized for newer organizations.
- Greater visibility and recognition of the organization as a credible, functioning, and trusted organization, which opened doors for partnerships and advocacy success.
- Building stronger networks and movements, including representation on varied decision-making platforms both within and outside of the disability community, and at both local and national level. This capacity for stronger networking was a strong cross-cutting theme for success in advocacy, and a role that DRF facilitated.
