PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
NAEWASA is committed in ensuring that people with disabilities are not left behind in the overall empowerment of the identified Designated Groups. As we foster Prosperity for All, people with disabilities are part of our ongoing efforts and strategy and in line with the National Development Plan, the White Paper on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (WPRPD) reiterates that the primary responsibility for disability equity lies with national, provincial, local government and other sectors of society but also allocates responsibilities to persons living with disabilities and their families. The vision of the WPRPD is “the creation of free and just society inclusive of all persons living with disabilities as equal citizens.”
