Job Description
BACKGROUND
The Strengthening Partnerships to Advance Disability Rights in Africa (SPADRA) project is a Pan-African initiative led by a consortium comprising the African Disability Forum (ADF), Disabled Women in Africa (DIWA), and Inclusion Africa (IA). The project’s overall objective is to advance disability and gender rights across Africa, with an initial focus on four countries – Benin, Ghana, Malawi, and Zambia.
SPADRA seeks to strengthen the capacity of Organisations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs), build inclusive partnerships, and support legal reforms anchored in continental instruments such as the African Disability Protocol (ADP) and the SADC Protocol on Disability. The project emphasises grassroots implementation and the development of locally tailored tools for enhancing social service access and meaningful participation of women with disabilities.
Findings from the pilot phase of the project highlight systemic barriers that particularly affect women and girls with disabilities, including:
- Limited access to social protection services
- Exclusion from education and justice systems
- Pervasive stigma and discrimination
