DISABILITY: ENSURING NO ONE IS LEFT

BEHIND

Disabled people living in poverty are among the most vulnerable, marginalised and discriminated people on earth. Often, they have no access to basic human rights, education or the opportunity to work. There are approximately 1 billion disabled people in the world according to the World Health Organisation, 80% live in developing countries – and around 150 million have very high levels of need. Shockingly small numbers of disabled children go to school leading to low literacy and low employment, and, for most disabled people, even basic health services are inaccessible. Disabled people are frequently discriminated against, stigmatised, and excluded from wider society – even by their own families.

After many years of relentless campaigning, we are now beginning to see the global political will, high profile champions and relevant policies that are needed to respect the rights of disabled people around the world. ADD International has been at the heart of this global movement, ensuring that the voices of disabled people grow ever louder.

ABOUT ADD INTERNATIONAL.

For over 32 years ADD International has been supporting some of the world’s most remarkable disability activists working on the frontline of discrimination. We give them and their organisations the tools and resources to build powerful movements for change; and we make sure their voices are heard by global leaders and people with the power to make real change. Based in the UK, we have 5 offices in East Africa and Asia with a staff team of approximately 100 people and a turnover of over £3m.

ADD International in Tanzania works in partnership with the Tanzania Federation of Disabled People’s Organizations (SHIVYAWATA), national disabled people’s organisations (DPOs).

THE DISABILITY INCLUSIVE COVID-19 RESPONSE AND RECOVERY CO-ORDINATION (DICC) PROJECT.

The DICC brings together Disabled People’s Organisations (DPOs), disability-focused NGOs, and other mainstream NGOs working on disability inclusion in Tanzania. In itself, this represents an innovative alliance between multiple DPOs and NGOs, working with a common purpose in a crisis response, in a way that has never been seen before in Tanzania. DICC partners have reach and representation across the country, which will enable a grassroots and district-based disability-inclusive COVID-19 response where PWD play a leading role through their representative organisations.

The project overall goal is to contribute to COVID -19 response in Tanzania that leaves no one behind by ensuring that PWD are reached and included equitably in efforts to raise awareness, prevent infection, access support and mitigate the social and economic impact of the pandemic. This will be achieved through enhanced coordination among organizations from different sectors and government, effective planning and implementation of inclusive COVID-19 response by Government at all levels, improved knowledge, capacity of PWD and their households to prevent infection and access medical, social and livelihood support, DPO effective support to PWD during COVID-19 Pandemic/recovery period and demonstrated evidence and learning that inform decision-making at all levels on the impact of COVID-19 on PWD, barriers to accessing support, and effective strategies for including PWD
