4.4.5 Constraints

Time considerably restricted the production of the first PRSP and, as the process was still in its infancy, the civil society had hardly any possibility to participate. People with disabilities were completely excluded. At the beginning, networking, coordination, information exchange and task-sharing between the different DPOs were all very weak. This situation was definitely improved by the September 2005 workshop and the establishment of the network. However, although the workshop proved a success, no high-ranking officials from the government, ministries or the World Bank participated. So, while the second PRSP now addresses disability at many points, some issues are nevertheless still unclear, such as rehabilitation, technical assistance and how to combat negative attitudes.
