On 16 July, the Regional Training of Trainers on Disability Inclusion in N'Djamena reached a milestone: turning theory into practice.
45 participants from 6 Sahel countries, trained by ADF and UNICEF, stepped into the role of trainers themselves.
Robkedi Djimnayel (FACAPH/ADF): True solutions require partnership. UNICEF country offices must co-design with organizations of persons with disabilities as they hold the lived experience and expertise to bring fitting solutions.
Three voices, one message: Inclusion cannot be decreed from an office. It is built with those it concerns most directly!
