INTERVENTIONS

One of Uganda’s big challenges is how to attain equitable service delivery to both non vulnerable and vulnerable citizens as a foundation for socio-economic transformation as we aspire to emerge as a strong middle-income economy.

Disabled people are among the populations listed as vulnerable by the Human Rights Commission.

There are national and international legislations and policies that aim at ensuring that people with disabilities enjoy their rights in full but the challenge is implementation. Majority of people with disabilities are excluded in decision making process that affect their lives.

 However there are various stakeholders in the private sector that assist to advocate for the rights of people with disabilities for example SIA Uganda (Spinal Cord Association-Uganda – SIA-, Spinal Cord Association – Kabarole SIAK, and other NGOs).
