A series of six workshops was organised in Bangladesh to feed into the strategic planning process of a local NGO that provides services for blind children. Separate workshops were held with each key stakeholder groups including primary care givers (parents, grandparents), primary (health workers, teachers) and secondary (doctors, nurses) service providers, community members, policy makers (both government and NGO) and children (sighted and blind). All the workshops followed a similar structure, with both individual and group work activities. Some of the activities included the chapatti diagram, decision tree and bridge model. A focus group discussion was held with each group. Primary care givers identified their role in encouraging their children to be more independent. They could begin by teaching their children skills such as handicrafts. Primary service providers stressed that more awareness raising activities about prevention needed to be introduced which targeted women of childbearing age. Specialist service providers were critical of the NGO sector and pointed out that while there were many NGOs in the country, few of them focused on rehabilitation. Community members viewed their role to be to act as agents between the blind and the NGOs. They viewed the NGOs role to be to provide treatment. Policy makers identified the need to provide educational equipment for blind children. Action to include people with disabilities taken by Governments of other countries was also explored. The workshop with children included blind and sighted children. One of the recommendations arising from the workshop was that such activities should be held with children around Bangladesh to raise awareness about childhood blindness and counter discrimination. The workshop activities could be replicated in similar settings to give blind children (and other children with disabilities), their parents and other stakeholders a voice when planning services.
