In a significant move towards enhancing advocacy and support for the deafblind community worldwide, the World Federation of the Deafblind (WFDB) and Deafblind International (DbI) have formally signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This landmark agreement solidifies their commitment to collaboration and alignment of strategic actions related to the awareness and broader understanding of the rights and needs of persons with deafblindness and the establishment, development, and promotion of disability-specific services to all persons with deafblindness. The Memorandum will serve as an outline to support each other’s strategic goals and initiatives.
The signing of the MoU between WFDB and DbI represents an important step forward in the global movement to promote the rights and well-being of individuals with deafblindness, and their network.
