JONAPWD and the World Bank have teamed up to boost disability inclusion in Nigeria. This partnership aims to ensure people with disabilities are included and empowered in development programs nationwide.
The collaboration highlights the need to address barriers in education, employment, healthcare, and access to public services faced by Nigerians living with disabilities. The goal is to make development initiatives accessible to everyone, benefiting families, communities, and the economy.
Key priorities include:
- Integrating disability inclusion into project design and execution
- Expanding accessible interventions across sectors
- Improving data collection and accountability
- Building long-term partnerships
This partnership is a step towards a more inclusive Nigeria, where disability no longer determines opportunity. JONAPWD’s message is clear: Nigeria’s development must include everyone.
The Way Forward
The real work begins now, with continuous monitoring, funding, and government accountability needed to turn discussions into action. This collaboration symbolizes hope for a Nigeria where every citizen can live with dignity, independence, and respect.
