Although Mousawat has been registered in 2008 as a rights-based civil society organization, its work is rooted in the local community for more than 25 years. Mousawat has been established as a result of the localization process that Norwegian People’s Aid had initiated in a plan to become non-operational and work through local partners. The disability program that NPA has successfully run for over 25 years and that has delivered extensive services and made a huge impact, still responds to several fundamental and unattended-for needs within the local community especially to those of persons with disabilities. As these needs continue to be a priority, the former NPA program has been transferred to Mousawat, a local, independent, non-governmental organization that aims to address the needs and issues of the local community while still cooperating closely with NPA and other concerned stakeholders. After 4 years of this transition, Mousawat has developed its own identity and niche, this new strategic plan is a result of an extensive process of evaluation and re-designing held by the administrative and executive boards besides other key staff and partners.
