On the other hand, this year was marked by the organization, on April 12, of the 2nd forum of people with special needs, a date declared by the Agency annual day dedicated to this category. This event was marked by the signing of a partnership agreement for the financing of empowerment projects for these people with the Association for Arab Persons with Disabilities.
