Yesterday, we celebrated those who helped make financing for #NCDAP a reality. UNICEF remains committed to working with Government and partners to ensure every child, including every child with a disability, can realize their rights. #InvestInUGchildren

This milestone reflects what is possible when @GovUganda, @Parliament_Ug, civil society, development partners and communities work together to advance the rights of children with disabilities. #InvestInUGchildren

#Covid19 pushed many vulnerable girls further behind forcing some out of school & into early work or #teenagepregnancy.

Through #GirlsEmpoweringGirls, adolescent girls in Kampala received cash support, mentorship, & pathways back to education. #ProtectTheGirl #InvestInUGchildren

Incredible commitment on financing the National Child Disability Assistance Programme (NCDAP) from the Government of Uganda! #DisabilityInclusiveSocialProtection.

[Thomas Tayebwa @Thomas_Tayebwa]

I received members of the Uganda Parliamentary Forum on Social Protection, the Parliamentary Forum on Persons with Disabilities, and partners from @UNICEFUganda as well as @CSBAGUGANDA for a discussion on funding for the National Child Disability Assistance Programme.

Our discussion focused on the importance of sustained and adequate financing to support children with disabilities and their families.

We reflected on the daily challenges parents and caregivers face in providing care, treatment and protection for children with disabilities, often under difficult economic conditions.

I reaffirmed my commitment to the cause and assured the delegation of my full support, as well as Parliament’s continued support in advancing policies and securing resources that promote the welfare, dignity, and inclusion of children with disabilities.

Never say never because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion.
It always seems impossible until it’s done.

Good swim boys!

For every shilling transferred through the program, the local economy would experience an average increase of 1.3 shillings, making this an investment in both social welfare and national economic growth. #InvestInUGChildren || @Mglsd_UG

[Trend Room UG @TrendRoomUG]

Furthermore, it would offer an entry point for sensitizing communities and parents about how to better support children with disabilities and help reduce the trauma and hopelessness experienced by these families. #InvestInUGChildren || @Mglsd_UG

[Trend Room UG @TrendRoomUG]

These barriers include the additional costs of accessing services like health and education, reduced income-earning potential due to caregiving responsibilities, and the stigma and prejudice surrounding disability. #InvestInUGChildren || @Mglsd_UG

44% of children in Uganda are multi-dimensionaly poor! Limiting access to essential needs like education, healthcare, food, and nutrition; safe housing, among other things. Social Protection can be a game-changer providing a solution to child poverty. #socialprotection

Good news from #TheGambia: lawmakers have upheld the law criminalizing FGM! A victory for Gambian girls & women. 👏🏾

No woman or girl should ever be subjected to female genital mutilation. It is a violation of their human rights.
