Disabled Persons. This theme, which also guides the UN Decade of Disabled Persons 1983-92, should guide all programmes which assist disabled Afghans. 9. The purpose of this paper is to provide guidelines to those organizations wishing to involve themselves in providing prevention, treatment and/or rehabilitation services to disabled Afghans, and to indicate to these organizations the priority areas. The paper also indicates the agency(ies) within the UN system whose field of competence covers a particular area. 10. The Committee for Assistance to Disabled Afghans reviews project proposals referred to it by one of its members or received directly from NGOs or other organizations supporting disabled Afghans. The Committee examines whether the planned project or action follows the guidelines and fits into the priorities. This being the case, the proposal is referred to the responsible UN agency which then contacts the organization having submitted the planned project or action in order to finalize the submission and define the technical and/or financial support to be provided within Operation Salam for the implementation of the project. According to its terms of reference, CADA assesses the impact on the situation of disabled Afghans of projects designed to support them. 11. This paper is divided into three parts: prevention, treatment and referral, and rehabilitation. Within each part the recommended guidelines differ, depending on the services already available and the category of disability: locomotor, mental, visual, or 6 hearing. Recommendations for immediate action refer to the period ending in December 1990. Recommendations for medium-term action refer to the two year period following, i.e., 1991-92. 7 11.
