About us
Mousawat, established in 2008 as a rights-based civil society organization, has roots in the local community for over 25 years.
Originated from a localization process by Norwegian People’s Aid, Mousawat took over NPA’s disability program to address unmet needs.
After 4 years of transition, Mousawat has developed its own identity and strategic plan through evaluation and redesigning.
