The Ministry of Family and Social Action in Benin has received 1,422 new Equality of Chance cards from the National Agency for Identification of Persons (ANIP). These cards aim to enable people with disabilities to easily access rights and benefits associated with their condition. The cards are part of a larger initiative to support people with disabilities in Benin.
According to the Ministry of Family and Social Action, a total of 4,718 cards have already been distributed to beneficiaries out of 6,140 cards received. The new batch of 1,422 cards will help increase the number of people with disabilities who can access these benefits. The cards are designed to take into account the level of disability established for each beneficiary.
The distribution of these cards is part of the government's efforts to promote inclusion and equality of opportunity for people with disabilities. The Minister of Family and Social Action, Véronique Tognifodé, has reaffirmed the government's commitment to strengthening the inclusion of people with disabilities. The cards will also help reach beneficiaries living in remote areas who face difficulties accessing services.
The Equality of Chance cards are an essential tool for people with disabilities in Benin, as they provide access to various benefits and services. The cards are also expected to help reduce the difficulties faced by people with disabilities in accessing basic services. With the new batch of cards, more people with disabilities will be able to access these benefits.
The Ministry of Family and Social Action is expected to start distributing the new cards soon. The distribution process will target not only people with disabilities living in urban areas but also those in remote and hard-to-reach areas. This initiative is part of a broader effort to promote social inclusion and equality of opportunity for all citizens.
In addition to the distribution of Equality of Chance cards, the government has also recorded 4,000 requests for cards this year. These requests will be submitted to the Inter-Ministerial Commission responsible for the inclusion of people with disabilities. The commission will review the requests and ensure that those who are eligible receive their cards.
The National Agency for Identification of Persons (ANIP) has emphasized its commitment to providing a legal identity to all citizens, including people with disabilities. The agency's efforts to deliver these cards are part of a broader initiative to ensure that all citizens have access to essential services and benefits.
