#KDFest26 provide exhibition booths for at least 50 young people with disabilities to display their crafts, enterprises, technologies, or community projects, linking them with funders and collaborators.
And host adaptive Paralympic-style games like Boccia ball. #LeaveNoOneBehind

Disability inclusion must go beyond statistics. We need accessible services,equal opportunities and policies that respond to the realities of persons with disabilities,especially women and girls.

State of Disability in Uganda🇺🇬
According to the 2024 Census estimated that approximately 13.2% of Uganda’s population (5.5 million) live with a disability. This is consistent with 2022 national estimates of about 14%, with slightly higher rates among women. Functional-difficulty surveys from 2022–2024 show a higher picture: 32–33% of adults report at least one difficulty, mostly seeing (19–20%), mobility (13–14%), and cognition (13%). Rates are higher in urban poor communities.
As for the campaign #LeaveNoOneBehind #KDFest26 responds to this gap by creating a space for empowerment, engagement, and economic connection for young people with disabilities and those affected by disability-Patrick Wasajja team leader KDF

Attended the Climate Finance Symposium for Youth & Women 2026 Key takeaway: grassroots climate organizations need access to finance, innovation, and partnerships to turn community ideas into action. As Founder of AfriWISE Impact Hub, this matters #ClimateFinance #GreenTransition

In the *1995 Constitution of Uganda (as amended)*, Persons With Disabilities (PWDs) are protected in both the *National Objectives and Directive Principles* and the *Bill of Rights (Chapter 4)*.
National Objectives and Directive Principles of State Policy.
- Objective XVI - Recognition of the dignity of PWDs "Society and the State shall recognise the right of persons with disabilities to respect and human dignity."
#KDFest26
@Mglsd_UG l @KCCAUG l @UNFPAUganda
Are you doing something to eliminate discrimination against PWDs?
As it's written "You were created in my image, says the Lord".
#KDFest26
Note that Policymakers provide the *framework*, beneficiaries provide the *direction and validation*. Let's embrance what's written by law.

When counselling comes first, women are better equipped to understand their options and choose what works for their circumstances. #WomenX

For women interested in self-injection, preparation is essential. Sayana Press self-injection requires appropriate training, practical demonstrations and an understanding of the correct procedure. #WomenX

A woman’s family planning journey should come with access to skilled care,clear information and informed choices. Through #HerPlanIsHerPower, #CHEWs are helping bring Implanon services closer to communities in Mayuge, Namayingo and Iganga.

Looking for a long-acting, reversible family planning option? Implanon is inserted under the skin of the upper arm by a trained provider.
Visit your nearest health facility to learn about its benefits, possible side effects and whether it suits your needs. #HerPlanIsHerPower

Are you considering Implanon? Visit your nearest health facility to learn more about the method, its possible side effects and whether it is suitable for you.
#HerPlanIsHerPower #CHEWs
Accessing family planning information and services should be easier for every woman.
CHEWs also play an important role in answering questions, addressing misconceptions and guiding women to appropriate care when needed.

Community follow-ups provide an opportunity for CHEWs to engage with women, listen concerns, address questions and provide accurate information about available family planning options, including Implanon. #CHEWs can guide on the appropriate referral pathways.

Under the #HerPlanIsHerPower Power campaign, the Organon–UNFPA partnership is strengthening the capacity of #CHEWs to provide Implanon insertion services closer to communities in Mayuge, Namayingo and Iganga districts.
This initiative aims to improve access to family planning services and ensure more women can get the information and support they need to make informed choices.

Accessing family planning information and services should not depend on how far a woman lives from a health facility. Through the #HerPlanIsHerPower campaign, the @OrganonLLC –@UNFPAUganda partnership is strengthening Community Health Extension Workers (#CHEWs ) in Mayuge, Namayingo and Iganga to provide Implanon insertion services closer to the communities they serve. @UPMAofficial

Family planning choices are more meaningful when women have access to reliable information and qualified care.

Family planning information should reach women where they live and work. At Masese Landing Site, the Women X Project brought conversations about contraceptive options closer to the community, helping women explore their choices with guidance from health workers. #WomenX #YourLifeYourChoice @UNFPAUganda
Women at Masese Landing Site in Jinja got the chance to learn about family planning methods, including Sayana Press, during a #WomenX community activation. The conversations helped residents ask questions and get reliable information from health workers. #YourLifeYourChoice @UNFPAUganda
