On the 20th of September, MPDC received the “Inclusive Company” award given by FAMOD – Forum of Associations Mozambicans for Disability. The award was given during the Conference on Disability and Human Rights, organized by FAMOD in partnership with the National Commission on Human Rights, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the ratification of the United Nations Convention on the rights of Persons with Disabilities.
MPDC received the award for the “Porto +” project for its contribution to the inclusion of people with disabilities in the labor market. The other two companies to receive the same award were Kaya Kwanga and Vodacom Mozambique.
The Conference aimed to reflect on the advances and challenges of implementing the Convention and to outline perspectives for the future.
