Project Concept:
PFPID-Nepal (Parents Federation of Persons with Intellectual Disabilities-Nepal) is a non-governmental organization dedicated to promoting the rights and inclusion of persons with intellectual disabilities in Nepal. As part of its initiatives, PFPID-Nepal is working to enhance job placement opportunities for persons with intellectual disabilities through targeted training and support.
For human growth and development, various indices such as health, education, and employment are crucial. According to the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) Human Development Reports, these include achieving a long and healthy life, gaining knowledge, and attaining a decent standard of living. Persons with intellectual disabilities have the right to pursue development in these areas.
However, due to inadequate knowledge and support for specialized care and opportunities, they often encounter challenges in these areas. Research was conducted on identifying viable job opportunities for persons with intellectual disabilities. The findings, drawn from stakeholders including persons with intellectual disabilities, their parents, potential employers, and current employers, identified several feasible job roles.
Based on these findings, PFPID-Nepal developed a manual outlining suitable job opportunities and training modules in five trades for persons with intellectual disabilities. PFPID-Nepal has successfully placed many persons with intellectual disabilities in employment across Nepal.
