International sections
Seven independent and mutually supportive sections
Since Handicap International was founded in France in 1982, seven other sections have been created in Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada and the United States. The goal of the international organisation is to bring the organisation's values and mission to the attention of the key players on the world stage.
This network also allows Handicap International to expand and diversify its public and private financial resources. In 2004, Handicap International received contributions totalling 4 million euros from its international sections.
Furthermore, Handicap International also aims to raise awareness of its causes (campaign events, lobbying) amongst the general public and political decision makers.
Work to set up a Handicap International federation began in 2003.
In 2004 a common policy document was adopted and a federal model is currently being finalized.
