Primarily focused in developing countries, this is the heart of DDW’s work. DDW serves as a facilitator, allowing local leaders and Deaf advocacy organizations an opportunity to assess their community’s needs and the resources they have at hand. After this assessment, DDW provides organizational development - fundraising, leadership and team building, recordkeeping, project development and assessment, and public relations - to the local community, enhancing the skills of its members and their ability to operate their projects.
