The objective of the trainings and eld visits were to sensitize workshop participants on the challenges faced by persons with disability in a quest to promote access to rights and services of persons with disability in Zambia. Participants had an opportunity to share their experiences on issues of persons with disability and learn from disability institutions about the many challenges being faced by these institutions.
