TCI is Empowered by the extraordinary vision and guidance of the CRPD, TCI’s purpose is to situate ourselves at the center of the cross-disability movements at the national, regional, and global levels, as a way to reclaim our identity, dignity and autonomy, experience our independence and to realize our right to live in the community. TCI is a post CRPD movement and a membership-based organization and works for the empowerment of organizations of persons with psychosocial disabilities for leading advocacy initiatives at national, sub-regional and global levels. For more than a decade our focus and vision has been to empower OPDs, and dialogue with a variety of stakeholders including civil society organization, development agencies, UN agencies and governments for the realization of CRPD, specifically Article 19, for realizing the right to independent living and community inclusion.  Our key allies in this process have been the cross-disability movement.
