This page and tabs are dedicated to people with disabilities. We have tabs for GRANTEES working with this rightsholder group, CALLS for PROPOSALS dedicated to it and all LINKING & LEARNING efforts -which includes blogs, vlogs and articles relating to this group.
The About page will give you a small introduction to people with disabilities. This includes some general statistics; the status from the two context analyses Voice has done, combined with some external resources that you may find interesting.
According to the World Bank, one billion people, or 15% of the world’s population experience some form of disability;80% of whom live in developing countries (World Report on Disability 2011). Despite their high numbers, people with disabilities, on average as a group are more likely to experience adverse socioeconomic outcomes than people without disabilities such as less education, poorer health outcomes, lower levels of employment, and higher poverty rates. These are substantial gaps in services to people with disability, as disability is associated with a lower level of living when compared to non-disabled persons, women with disabilities are worse off than males, and the rural disabled have a lower level of living than their urban counterparts. This coupled with the prevailing cultural representations of disability, particularly in Africa, appear overwhelmingly negative.
Generally speaking, the space for People with Disabilities in all ten Voice focus countries has opened up -especially for the impact themes related to increased access to social services and productive resources., The adaptation of existing and creation of specific laws and regulations, policies and other measures to protect and guarantee the rights of persons with disabilities are often only the results of the long and continuous efforts of dedicated and vibrant disabled people’s organisations (DPOs), in the respective countries.
Frequently, DPOs and umbrella organisations (may) act as a barometer towards implementation, assessing and indicating the actual efforts made by their respective governments. An example of such initiative is with one of the Voice grantees in Uganda, the National Union of Disabled Persons of Uganda(NUDIPU) whose project seeks to promote disability-inclusive planning and budgeting in health and education sectors in Uganda. The adoption of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN CRPD, 2006 and came into force in 2008) is of great importance to foster universal human rights and inclusion of persons with disabilities. The convention also marks the so-called paradigmatic change from attitudes and approaches where persons with disabilities were considered objects of charity, social protection and medical treatment to subjects of human rights, able to make decisions on their own behalf, claim their rights and capable of being active members of society.
The Disability Inclusion Index project, is an example of such efforts implemented by the Agency for Disability and Development in Africa (ADDA), a Voice grantee in Kenya. The inclusion index measures existing expertise and knowledge gaps within Disabled Persons Organisations (DPOs) and among Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), including the advocacy capacity of people and communities (assessing their confidence to participate), and negotiation practices necessary to influence. Whereas most narratives of disability in Africa and Asia stress barriers and exclusion, Voice grantees working with disabilities appear to show resilience and some appear to achieve success. In order to promote inclusion in development efforts, there is a need to challenge narratives of failure. This – Ability Trust has made strides in challenging norms. Their project focuses on using business principles of marketing and advertising to make the case for investing in women and girls with disabilities.
The project uses a combination of photography, advertising and advocacy campaigns around disability and sexuality, stimulating conversations among the general public on disability rights. The existing narrative of asexuality has meant that young women with disabilities are closed off from accessing their fundamental sexual and reproductive rights. Sexual Reproductive Health & Rights and Disability is now an emerging topic within Voice drawing inspiration from this book, Everybody Matters.
At Voice, we support and promote the full inclusion of persons with disabilities in societies. The slogan “Nothing about us without us” is symbolic for the strive of persons with disabilities for inclusive human rights implementation. It presents the belief that no decision shall be made affecting persons with disabilities without their full and active involvement. In this page, we highlight projects, stories and calls for proposals linked to this rightsholders group.

Grantees
This page highlights those grants disbursed to groups and organisations working with people with disabilities groups in and across all Voice focus countries. We highlight partners such as Access Nigeria who ran a campaign to promote more inclusive politics and as one of the winners of the NOW-Us! the award helped us lead the way to learn more about civic space in that impact theme.
In this page, see the different groups that focus on the more “specialised” disabilities such as people with albinism in Mali, Tanzania and Uganda or little people in Mali.

Calls for Proposals
This section showcases all the Calls for Proposals that have been published which focus on this specific rightsholders group and different thematic areas at the country and global level.
As you can see most Calls are open to all rightsholder groups. It is important to note that in the number of calls we released in 2019, we noticed that there is a growing group of grants supporting the work of people with mental, psycho-social or intellectual disabilities who never experienced civic space to start with.
