Challenges of Implementing Project Activities

Among the major challenges in implementing the activities this period is as mentioned below: -

Challenges Corrective Actions Taken
  • Finding an accessible venue was the main challenge.
  • We selected a comparatively accessible hall to accommodate all participants and utilized ramps to enhance accessibility throughout the venue. Additionally, we advocated with local hotels to improve their accessibility. As a result, some hotels renovated their washrooms to be disability-friendly and installed ramps to better serve guests with disabilities.
