It was attended by Carita Murtonen, Fida International disability expert in Southeast Asia, and Mark Rasmuson, DAI-VNAH’s Chief of Party of the UN Agency for International Development (USAID) Disability Support Programme in Da Nang.
The event also saw the involvement of over 500 members of the municipal Association of People with Disabilities who devoted to audiences a number of cultural and arts performances.
