The right of persons with disabilities to participate in decision-making 2016, para. 53
Paragraph
Paragraph text
When organizations are unable to access domestic funds to support their activities, due either to a lack of or the limited availability of government funding, or a lack of interest by the private sector, they often rely on external sources. In such cases, donors' preferences for funding activities rather than core institutional functions, as well as their sometimes narrow agendas, can prevent representative organizations of persons with disabilities from establishing a viable organizational structure. Such trends have an impact on organizations' long-term planning and engagement in a given area. Furthermore, the lack of a financial or funding history prevents many grass-roots organizations from applying for any type of funding.
