The Unbridged Gap that Kept many Behind
In Uganda, over 6,000,000 people have disabilities; and about 12,000,000 constitute their spouses, children and caretakers. The UNHS, 2016 indicates that 75% of PWDs aged 14 – 64 experience unemployment; low education levels; and 80% face poverty.
Absence of an effective professional support system results in a situation where PWDs cannot effectively participate in community life on the basis of choices equal to others.
Although some can use their family networks to access support; if no other options exist, their autonomy is reduced as they tend to have no choice and control over the assistance they require to pursue their life plans, and questions of overprotection and conflict of interest arise.
