Inadequate case processing is the biggest problem for people with disabilities year after year. This is shown by Tilioq's analyses when the institution looks at the many citizen inquiries that come to the advocacy institution every year.
In light of this, spokesperson Qivioq Løvstrøm is pleased that the Ilimmarsaaneq project has now been fully funded and launched.
The project is about ensuring that case handlers in each of the country's five municipalities have the right knowledge and skills to be able to provide case processing that follows current legislation, is rights-based and will help each individual citizen in the best possible way.
To do this, Tilioq has prepared a three-day course program, and the institution will travel to all coastal towns over two years to teach municipal employees, especially case managers, in this program, Tilioq writes in a press release.
Tilioq will also prioritize meeting with citizens, officials and other relevant stakeholders in order to target the training to each municipality and each town with the immediate challenges faced by local citizens with disabilities and their relatives.
The Ilimmarsaaneq project will begin in Avannaata Municipality and will travel to Ilulissat, Uummannaq, Upernavik and Qaanaaq during April and May.
In May and June 2026, Tilioq will visit the towns of Aasiaat, Qeqertarsuaq, Qasigiannguit and Kangaatsiaq in the Municipality of Qeqertalik.
In 2027, this applies to the towns of Qeqqata Municipality, Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq and Kujalleq Municipality.
