People with disabilities (PWDs) are disproportionately affected by the coronavirus epidemic. To minimize incidences such as that of a deaf person who was mistakenly shot for not taking instruction by security forces, PWDs should be represented in Covid-19 Task Forces.

@nbstv The MPs displeasure was specifically on the President's comments on UGX20m issue while the appreciation was on his overall handing of Coronavirus pandemic. The two are different and do not contradict each other

Innovation is required to address the emerging needs posed by NTDs. We need diverse voices and bold ideas. The Ascend Learning and Innovation Fund provides up to £500,000 in grant funding. Take your idea to the next level! #beatNTDs https://t.co/1UWQbSTopQ #UKaid
