Awareness must go beyond words. It must translate into compassion, dignity and meaningful action.
Our visit to Just A Boy School, Jinja, was a reminder that every child deserves care, opportunity, support and the chance to thrive, regardless of ability.

Integrating HBV, HCV and HIV screening into antenatal care could help streamline services for expectant mothers. Using Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing (TDABC) can reveal the staff time and resources needed to deliver these essential tests effectively.

Representation matters! Children with dwarfism in Uganda need to see adults like them thriving as teachers, lawyers, doctors, entrepreneurs, and leaders. You cannot be what you cannot see.

Today,@LamicareDRO joined fellow partner at the @Mglsd_UG Gender, Labour and Social Development to share progress on popularising the #AfricanDisabilityProtocol (ADP).
Supported by #ADDInternational through the Disability Justice Fund for Women, we are working collectively to strengthen awareness, advance disability rights and promote the Protocol's implementation in Uganda.
From awareness to action.

Communities are not just beneficiaries of health interventions, they are partners in finding solutions. Combining scientific knowledge with community experience can make health programmes more relevant & effective.

From promises to signatures.
Yesterday, 10 girls with disabilities sat as a House in Wakiso and put eight questions to the officers who run the District.
They wrote the questions themselves. Every answer given was written up, read back aloud, and signed by the officer who gave it.
We publish what was promised tomorrow.

Accessibility is providing inclusive services even to those with disabilities. Constructing public and private buildings accessible to PWDs and also providing assistants to those with impairments.

Disability inclusion must go beyond statistics. We need accessible services,equal opportunities and policies that respond to the realities of persons with disabilities,especially women and girls.
State of Disability in Uganda🇺🇬
According to the 2024 Census estimated that approximately 13.2% of Uganda’s population (5.5 million) live with a disability. This is consistent with 2022 national estimates of about 14%, with slightly higher rates among women. Functional-difficulty surveys from 2022–2024 show a higher picture: 32–33% of adults report at least one difficulty, mostly seeing (19–20%), mobility (13–14%), and cognition (13%). Rates are higher in urban poor communities.
As for the campaign #LeaveNoOneBehind #KDFest26 responds to this gap by creating a space for empowerment, engagement, and economic connection for young people with disabilities and those affected by disability-Patrick Wasajja team leader KDF
@KCCAUG ll @Mglsd_UG ll @SwedeninUG
In the *1995 Constitution of Uganda (as amended)*, Persons With Disabilities (PWDs) are protected in both the *National Objectives and Directive Principles* and the *Bill of Rights (Chapter 4)*.
National Objectives and Directive Principles of State Policy.
- Objective XVI - Recognition of the dignity of PWDs "Society and the State shall recognise the right of persons with disabilities to respect and human dignity."

@Mglsd_UG l @KCCAUG l @UNFPAUganda
Are you doing something to eliminate discrimination against PWDs?
As it's written "You were created in my image, says the Lord".
#KDFest26
Note that Policymakers provide the *framework*, beneficiaries provide the *direction and validation*. Let's embrance what's written by law.
