The National Lottery Authority (NLA) has donated some office equipment to the National Council on Persons with Disability to aid the council’s work.
The items include 10 desktop computers, 2 laptop computers and a 3-in-1 printer.
The donation exercise which took place on Thursday, June 2, 2022 in Accra was in response to a request made by the council.
The council lacked the needed office equipment to enable it discharge its duties, hence the request to the state lottery regulator.
The items were presented by Madam Amma Frimpong, the Deputy Coordinator of the Good Causes Foundation under the auspices of the NLA.
Two members of the governing board of the council, Mrs. Mawunyo Yakor-Dagba and Madam Bruce Lye, supported the Executive Secretary of the council, Lawyer Esther Akua Gyamfi to receive the items.
Lawyer Esther Gyamfi expressed appreciation for the gesture and assured that the items would be used for their intended purpose.
The National Council on Persons with Disability is the State Agency for disability matters and inclusion; established in 2009 by an Act of Parliament; thus, the Persons with Disability Act 2006, (Act 715).
The Council is mandated to develop strategies and interventions to enable persons with disabilities to enter and participate in the development agenda through effective disability mainstreaming legislation, policies, programs, interventions and strategies, planning, and budgetary allocation for the purpose of achieving inclusive development.
