The National Union of Disabled Persons of Uganda (NUDIPU), an indigenous umbrella organization of persons with disabilities (PWDs) in Uganda working to promote the equalisation of opportunities and active participation of PWDs in mainstream development processes, has produced a video on the impact of the World Bank funded National Agriculture Advisory Services (NAADS) in Uganda on persons with disabilities.
Samuel Owere’s experience is not indicative of the experience of the majority of farmers in Uganda with disabilities but exemplifies how very small changes in project design can have great impact on beneficiaries. The video shows the importance of ensuring that World Bank projects are inclusive for persons with disabilities so that everyone can benefit from and not be harmed by Bank projects.
