Resume

This intervention is premised on the theory of change that, if persons with disabilities have the conditions in place for active participation in political processes they will act on it making their priorities known to politicians and other stakeholders. To do this politicians and other stakeholders need to be supported in the process for making society more inclusive for persons with disabilities and also to be held accountable for their responsibilities, obligations, and promises. Without this element of accountability, persons with disabilities - as any other voter not having their promises and needs met - will lose trust in the political system and democratic process. The target group is composed of 5000 persons with disabilities, 30 youth ambassadors, 25 economic mentors, and 44 staff from APDK.
