Description:
A Project Ekota (Unity): From Invisible to Visible funded by USAID creates a space for People Living with Disability (PLWD) for claiming their rights and justice and an accountability mechanism for relevant duty-bearing institutions to render better services to PLWD. The barriers that PLWD face are manifold societal, institutional and infrastructural. Although there are multiple factors, it has appeared that inability to access basic services and resources by disabled people at large is a great obstacle to their overall development. These barriers to accessibility entail education, health, safety-nets, employment, development activities and legal justice. The project aims to leave behind a score of self-managed Disabled Peoples Organisations (DPOs) to continue claiming and realising rights and legal justice in a sustainable and replicable manner. A more sensitised government service providers will be in place in public service delivery provisions. More opportunities will be created to engage PLWD with self-employment or paid work. Project Objectives: To enhance all basic quality services for PLWD, particularly for women and girls.
