@memorynguwi When do you think is the best time to strategize? I agree with you that finishing by October is too early, I guess the thought behind is that implementation would be from January.

Are you a young person with disabilities?

Would you like to tell us about your experience of participating in public life?

How can Europe improve things?

Our Director @sam_signsofhope joined @StarFM to discuss access to IDs for persons with disabilities.
A 2013 @NASCOHZW1 study shows 20% have no IDs, excluding many from school, work & healthcare, and exposing them to economic violence.

Excessive fees for accessing personal information, like nearly US$100 for a certificate, defeat the purpose of access to information laws.
We ask that:
- Fees be reviewed and capped,
- Public bodies adopt clear policies on access to information.

[#AccessToInformation @signsofhopezim]

1/ We really need to talk about the cost of accessing information in Zimbabwe. A whole US$85 to replace a lost/damaged O-Level certificate 😳 — plus $10 if you don’t remember your candidate number?

Access to Information can be defined as the right to seek, receive and impart information held by public bodies. This, self-paced, online Course on Access to Information Laws and Policies by @UNESCO explores this. https://t.co/DPhbWAwzGW

Breaking: @WHO has approved the inclusion of broad-spectrum sunscreen in the 24th Edition of the Model List of Essential Medicines (EML) and the 10th Edition of the Model List of Essential Medicines for Children (EMLc).
Congratulations to all those who were at the forefront. 👏👏

In our article 3/2025, we reflect on what the decision by WHO to include sunscreen on the Essential Medicine List means for persons with Albinism and why it is timely.

At #DRIF25, both our session & community talk were flagged as highly attended & buzzing. This shows how urgent and critical the digital & info rights of persons with disabilities are in the digital era we now live in. Thank you @ParadigmHQ

[Nic Nyakundi @NicNyakundi]

The only way of addressing disability digital divides 8s through inclusive designs, affordable access solutions and targeted programs and initiatives. Otherwise we continue to curtail their rights and independence.
