Building an Inclusive Future for Persons with Disabilities in Myanmar
The Myanmar Coordination Initiative for Equal Rights of Persons with Disabilities (MCERP) works to protect the rights, dignity, and participation of persons with disabilities through humanitarian action, advocacy, research, and inclusive development.
