♿ From local needs to concrete measures for inclusion in Montenegro!
Our project partner, Alfa Centar Niksic, is working through the EMPOWERED project to strengthen local policies for the inclusion of persons with disabilities in the municipalities of Nikšić and Pljevlja, through two important planning documents.
📍 Nikšić – “Triangle of Inclusion” Action Plan for 2026–2028
The document outlines concrete measures in three key areas: accessibility, inclusive education, and employment of persons with disabilities. Its aim is to systematically remove barriers, strengthen support in education, and create greater opportunities for equal participation in the labour market.
📍 Pljevlja – Proposed Measures for the Development of Local Inclusion Plans
In cooperation with the organisation Zracak Nade, a document has been prepared to provide a technical foundation for improving local policies on social and child protection, protection against discrimination, and the promotion of equality.
The proposed measures address accessibility of public spaces, development of community-based support services, inclusive education, protection of the rights of persons with disabilities, and stronger cooperation between local institutions and organisations.
🤝 Both documents are based on an assessment of local needs and the involvement of relevant stakeholders, sharing a common goal: to make inclusion an integral part of local policies and everyday community life.
The EMPOWERED project is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by ASB together with its partners across the Western Balkans.
