The Plight of Persons With Disabilities in Zambia
Abstract
This booklet outlines insights on the needs of persons with
disability gained from JCTR's training programme for
provincial planning units, Disability bodies and associations
in the nine Provinces of Central, Copper belt, Eastern,
Luapula, Muchinga, Northern, North-western, Southern
and Western. The trainings begun in June, 2016 and were
concluded in November, 2016. JCTR also conducted eld
visits to institutions providing services to PWDs. 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.
