Our second Board meeting of 2022 took place online on 27 May. This article highlights the main outcomes:
Our response to the war in Ukraine
We adopted an action plan with 3 objectives:
- To support persons with disabilities in collaboration with other representative organisations (DPOs).
- To advocate for disability inclusion in the broader humanitarian response in Ukraine and in the countries of the EU as people flee the war.
- To ensure that the future recovery includes disability and to build the capacity of the disability movement in the long-term.
This programme, which develops actions in Ukraine and 7 neighbouring countries, will help EDF continue providing direct support to persons with disabilities.

Approval of EDF 2023 plan
Our work plan for the coming year was approved. It follows the guidelines set by our 4-year plan and contains our most important advocacy campaigns for 2023.
Our General Assembly and the elections for governing bodies
Our Board debated the preparation for the Annual General Assembly, which will take place in June in Athens, Greece. The Assembly will include elections for our governing bodies and celebrate our 25th anniversary. It is organised in cooperation with the National Confederation of Disabled People in Greece.
