Work Training Blind Population

The general objective of this program is to help the blind in Argentina, Chile and Uruguay to find jobs. The specific objective is to improve their employability and productivity by offering them training and by strengthening the participating organizations of the blind.

The program will have three subprograms, one in Argentina (US$626,900), one in Chile (US$500,700) and one in Uruguay (US$272,400). Owing to its regional nature, they should be carried out in coordination and therefore a regional technical advisor will work out of FOAL's head office in Argentina. This will permit communications and exchanges of information among the three coordinating units. Annual workshops will also be held to share ideas and discuss problems and progress. The first workshop will be a meeting to launch the program and the other two will coincide with the mid-term and final evaluation reports to examine progress and results. A technical advisor appointed by FOAL will participate in the meetings and will review the design and results of the evaluations.
