About FFO
The Norwegian Federation of Organisations of Persons with Disabilities (FFO) is an umbrella organisation with 88 member organisations of people with disabilities, chronic diseases and their next of kin.
Our main goal is to work for better living conditions and the fulfillment of human rights for people with disabilities and chronic diseases.
Most of our work is politically based. We have regular meetings with the Government, Parliament and directorates about issues that are of relevance for people with disabilities and chronic diseases. These issues cover the whole life specter – from birth to death.
FFO are engaged in advocacy work on following areas:
- Adolescence
- Education
- Labor marked
- Health
- Living conditions
- Human rights
- Accessibility
- Organizational work
FFO is also running a Legal Advice Center (Rettighetssenteret) with special competence within Welfare Law. .
FFO is organized centrally with local offices on both county and municipality levels.
Membership and cooperation
Since FFO is an umbrella organisation, we only cooperate with other umbrella organizations. Today we cooperate with such organisations on Nordic and European level, and in Nepal and southern Africa.
On Nordic and European level our co-operation is mainly focusing on political issues. In Nepal and southern Africa we cooperate with national and regional umbrella organisations within the fields of organisational building, human right issues and good governance.
