Sightsavers is an international non-governmental organisation that works in more than 30 countries globally with partners to eliminate avoidable blindness and empower persons with disabilities to participate equally in society. We have been working in Zimbabwe since the 1950s.
Realising the African Disability Protocol Programme (RAD-P)
As part of Sightsavers’ growing social inclusion work, we are implementing the Realising the African Disability Protocol Programme (RAD-P) funded by the European Union. The goal is that people with disabilities – particularly the most excluded – in Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe – participate in governance and decision-making structures, influencing inclusive policies and local development processes in alignment with the African Disability Protocol (ADP). A key focus is strengthening Organisations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs) to advocate for the ADP’s domestication and implementation. As part of this, we are launching a mentorship
initiative to support emerging women and youth with disabilities leaders.
