The Norwegian Federation of Organisations of Disabled People (FFO) is an umbrella organisation with 82 member organisations (2017) of people with disabilities and chronic diseases from all over the country. 

The organisation’s main goal is to work for better living conditions and the fulfillment of human rights for people with disabilities and chronic diseases in Norway.

FFO is organized centrally with local offices on both county and municipality levels.

Most of our work is politically based. We have regular meetings with the Government, Parliament and directorates about issues that are of relevance for people with disabilities and chronic diseases. These issues cover the whole life specter – from birth to death.

FFO is engaged in advocacy work on following areas:

• Adolescence
• Education
• Labor marked
• Health
• Living conditions
• Human rights
• Accessibility
• Organizational work

FFO is also running a Legal Advice Center (Rettighetssenteret) with special competence within Welfare Law. (Information only in Norwegian).
