The program also utilizes RGC run Provincial Disability Action Councils (established in 2014) and Provincial GBV Working Groups (established in 2020) as mechanisms at the provincial level, contributing to program sustainability efforts.
ACCESS 2 STEERING COMMITTEE (ASC)
The ACCESS 2 Steering Committee will meet annually and provide strategic oversight of ACCESS’ progress, performance and risks, and drive coherence with RGC priorities. ASC members will lead engagement with key stakeholders across RGC, development partners and other sectoral stakeholders on GBV, disability, and rehabilitation issues in support of Program outcomes.
THE DISABILITY INCLUSIVE, REHABILITATION & GBV WORKSTREAM MEETINGS
The Disability Inclusive, Rehabilitation & GBV Workstream Meetings are formulated and established at the national level. These workstreams meetings are co-led by the lead Ministry/institution and the ACCESS 2.
