The Voice Programme has officially closed as of 31 December 2024.

This website, as its main public repository of information, tools and references, will remain available until December 2026. Feel free to browse through and look back at the work of our amazing partners and the impact the programme has achieved with them! The programme may have concluded, but we are certain that rightsholders will continue the onward journey to create responsive and inclusive societies for all of us!

NOW-Us! Award 2019: Application is now closed

The NOW-Us! (NOthing about us Without Us) Award honours inclusive initiatives from Africa and Asia that trigger empowerment of otherwise excluded rightsholder groups.

The deadline for submission has now passed and we have received 162 applications, for which we like to thank you. The jury will soon start their deliberation over the ten shortlisted initiatives which will be contacted in the first half of August 2019. If you haven’t been contacted by (approximately) 20^th August 2019 that means your application was not successful.

The NOthing about Us Without Us Award is a partnership between Partos, The Spindle and Voice to celebrate inclusion as part of the Annual Partos Innovation Festival.
