SDPP-D Objectives

The Social Development Partnerships Program- Disability Component (SDPP-D) seeks to:

Increase the effectiveness of the not-for-profit sector in meeting the social development needs and aspirations of persons with disabilities.
Improve the quality and responsiveness of governments’ social policies and programs.

Grants and contributions are used by the SDPP-D to support activities that respond to the evolving needs of persons with disabilities. Whether it is improving services, promoting accessibility or increasing understanding of the situation of people with disabilities, the funding allows the Department to support not-for-profit organizations’ efforts to innovate, strengthen networks of collaboration, develop capacity and share best practices to contribute to community well-being.

The SDPP-D provides financial support to well-planned, results-oriented projects designed to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities.
