Community Assets Mapping

To bring disability and business development organizations together, asset mapping workshops were hosted by the Project’s five Community Sites. Each workshop brought together representatives from a diverse group of community-based organizations that serve people with disabilities interested in self-employment. Workshop participants created an inventory and map of the physical location of services and assets that support persons with disabilities in their community.

One-day focus groups were also held to explore the common themes identified by the community assets mapping workshops. The participants in the focus groups provided comments and advice about:

• Project objectives and design
• Self-employment services
• Opportunities and challenges for people with disabilities
• The use of online technology by people with disabilities
• Online training capacity of disability and business development organizations
• Capacity building and information sharing among disability and business development organizations
