As described in the baseline situation, persons with disabilities are the sufferers of the lack of coordination between service providers in the health sector and service providers in all areas of life relevant to persons with disabilities. To ensure direct access to services for persons with disabilities, a national barrier-free platform will be established. This will include a well-structured referral system, as well as the possibility for monitoring and follow-up. It will be a medium for information management and will also include a system to indicate complaints and satisfaction with services.

- The stakeholders concerned will collaborate by using their social media to promote the use of the platform. In addition, videos with instructions on how to use the applications will be made available on the platform and stakeholder websites.
- The smooth operation of the platform will then initially be tested in three representative target areas Ramtha, Salt, and Karak.
3- Develop a barrier-free mobile application to provide service providers and customers with direct access to the services offered
- To provide direct access to the platform, a mobile app is being developed for use by people with disabilities and other users of the platform.
- The project’s IT developer will design and develop the application, Once completed, the application will be uploaded to the mobile store (Android, Apple) where it will be available for use.
