Q7 There is a general fear of COVID-19 impact on jobs and how it'll affect those yet to find their place in digital/virtual working. However, less reliance on physical presence at work presents opportunity for some PWDs. #DisabilityDiscourse @MsSamCoope @DFIDNigeria @cid_nigeria

Q7. The future of work will change after COVID-19 to online space. Will this help to retain job or push persons with disabilities out of jobs? #DisabilityDiscourse @eurekacorner @ellaakin @agbobiora2 @temisrael @adebayo2000 @channelstv @BusinessDayNg @cipmnigeria @NECA_TOYS

[Shola Omotosho @EurekaCorner]

Q6 More analytical work needs to be done to understand the situation for PWDs in Nigeria’s COVID-19 response. Though a public health issue, there is huge space for social analysis of secondary impact. #DisabilityDiscourse @MsSamCoope @DFIDNigeria @cid_nigeria

[Center for Inclusive Development @cid_nigeria]

Q6. There are talks around COVID giving the world and of course Nigeria opportunity to do things differently, do you see similar opportunities for PWDs? What are does opportunities? #DisabilityDiscourse @eurekacorner @ellaakin @goldenlois @temisrael @agboobiora2 @adebayo2000

[Shola Omotosho @EurekaCorner]

Q5 Access to information, testing in rural and urban areas is not the same. Testing is still mostly within urban areas. Economic palliatives have had better spread, but there is no data to show how PWDs have fared. #DisabilityDiscourse @MsSamCoope @DFIDNigeria @cid_nigeria

[Center for Inclusive Development @cid_nigeria]

Q5. Would you say access to information, testing and economic palliatives is same for PWD in rural and urban areas? #DisabilityDiscourse @eurekacorner @ellaakim2 @goldenlois @temisrael @agbobiora2 @undp @yiaga @govttalkng @omojuwa @jonapwdnational @sightsavers

[Shola Omotosho @EurekaCorner]

Q4 Affirmative action; dedicated funding for disability inclusive COVID-19 response. Improving disability targeting mechanisms for economic palliatives. Developing disability friendly testing processes. #DisabilityDiscourse @MsSamCoope @DFIDNigeria @cid_nigeria

[Center for Inclusive Development @cid_nigeria]

Q4. What could be done better to include people with disability in the COVID-19 response mechanism? #DisabilityDiscourse @adebayo2000 @ellaakin2 @eurekacorner @temisrael @agboobiora2 @goldenlois @channelstv @MobilePunch @tvcnewsng @SaharaReporters

[Shola Omotosho @EurekaCorner]

Q3 Demonstrating the will to ensure disability inclusion is a good starting point. Improving vulnerability targeting mechanisms by expanding the social register is another. But we need disaggregated data for evidencing. #DisabilityDiscourse @MsSamCoope @DFIDNigeria @cid_nigeria

[Center for Inclusive Development @cid_nigeria]

Q3. What are different stakeholders doing well as it concern inclusion of persons with disabilities and COVID-19? #DisabilityDiscourse @eurekacorner @ellakin @goldenlois @temisrael @agbobiora2 @adebayo2000 @contactyauri @yiaga @FMWRNigeria @USEmbassyAbuja

[Shola Omotosho @EurekaCorner]

Development actors have played significant roles in awareness raising. Where economic palliatives are concerned, this is primarily a task for the state. #DisabilityDiscourse @MsSamCoope @DFIDNigeria @cid_nigeria

[Center for Inclusive Development @cid_nigeria]

But are development actors acting with any intervention? #DisabilityDiscourse @DFID_uk @USAIDNigeria @DFB_Team_EN

[Shola Omotosho @EurekaCorner]

Q2 (c) No data disaggregation on COVID-19 testing. Same process for everyone as testing is taken to homes. With recent LGA decentralisation, PWDs may now become disadvantaged. #DisabilityDiscourse @MsSamCoope @DFIDNigeria @cid_nigeria

[Center for Inclusive Development @cid_nigeria]

Q2. How have PWDS been accessing the intervention from different stakeholders, such as testing, education, awareness & economic palliatives? #DisabilityDiscourse @eurekacorner @ellaakin @temisrael @goldenlois @adebayo2000 @agboobiora2 @USEmbassyAbuja

[Shola Omotosho @EurekaCorner]

Q2 (b) Awareness campaigns have factored in accessibility through video sign language interpretations. #DisabilityDiscourse @MsSamCoope @DFIDNigeria @cid_nigeria

[Shola Omotosho @EurekaCorner]

Q2 (a) On economic palliatives, we’ve heard statements of commitments from the custodian ministry but have yet to see instruments that assess how this has fared. #DisabilityDiscourse @MsSamCoope @DFIDNigeria @cid_nigeria

[Shola Omotosho @EurekaCorner]

This is why disability inclusive COVID-19 response needs to be specific and targeted. PWDs cannot receive equitable service within the mainstream. Where social distance is impossible, PWDs should be handled alongside their caregivers. #DisabilityDiscourse @DFIDNigeria @MsSamCoope

[Center for Inclusive Development @cid_nigeria]

@ellaAkinola But is social distance not going to further worsen discrimination against persons with disabilities? @eurekacorner #DisabilityDiscourse

[Shola Omotosho @EurekaCorner]

Q1 PWDs are more likely to contract COVID-19 as they are physically dependent, to develop serious illness from COVID-19 due to underlying conditions and to experience more negative secondary impact as they are already marginalised. #DisabilityDiscourse @DFIDNigeria @MsSamCoope

[Center for Inclusive Development @cid_nigeria]

Q 1. What are the impacts long and short impact of COVID 19, does it affect persons with disability differently? How? #DisabilityDiscourse @channelstv @tvcnewsng @MobilePunch @eurekacorner @goldenlois @temisrael @ellaakin @adebayo2000 @agboobiora2 @DFID_UK @USEmbassyAbuja
