Disability in Uganda

Posted 2 December 2013

In August I met Lynne Featherstone and she told me about the work DFID is doing to raise the profile of disability rights in international development.
Back in 2000 the UN’s Millennium Development Goals set out how they were going to change the world to meet the needs of the poorest over the next 15 years. Surprisingly, the goals didn’t include anything on disability despite poverty being disproportionately high amongst disabled people.
Thirteen years later, disability is still largely ignored within the international development sector
