In 2025, the DRC government approved a national policy and a 2025–2030 strategy for the empowerment and social inclusion of persons with disabilities, according to the DPRP website content draft. The strategy moves disability coordination from a health-only responsibility to one spanning health, education and social affairs.
The change creates a stronger policy foundation for the kind of work DPRP is built around: local government bringing different services together. It reflects a shift towards disability support as a shared responsibility across government departments.
