HI a entrepris ces changements de management dans le but d’une amélioration de la couverture des besoins des personnes vulnérables, y compris les personnes handicapées. Cette restructuration se traduit notamment par une mutualisation des ressources au niveau régional. Tous les membres de EAR interviennent sous 3 axes principaux tels que définis dans la stratégie opérationnelle 2021-2023:

• Pilier 2 : Réadaptation, prévention et santé : prévenir et lutter contre les maladies chroniques et invalidantes, détecter et prévenir précocement les handicaps évitables et promouvoir la santé mentale par une approche communautaire ;
• Pilier 3 : Protection : HI cherche à prévenir l’occurrence de la violence fondée sur le genre, l’âge et le handicap en s’efforçant d’initier des actions qui responsabilisent les personnes vulnérables et mobilisent les acteurs locaux, nationaux et internationaux pour un engagement propre dans la promotion et le respect des droits des personnes vulnérables confrontées à la violence fondée sur le genre, l’âge et le handicap. Il s’engage à rechercher et à fournir des données fiables sur l’identification des populations vulnérables et l’atténuation des facteurs de risque sous-jacents.
