Malawi: AFUB organizes training on African Disability Protocol (ADP)

What is ARADI?

The African Disability Alliance (ADA) through a joint collaboration with the Christian Blind Mission (CBM Germany) and funding support from the European Union, launched a three year programme, the alliance for Rights- Africa towards Disability Inclusion (ARADI). AFUB is implementing this project which is aimed at enabling Civil society Organisations (CSOs) and Pan-African Disability Federations (PADFs) to participate and contribute to the majority key – African Union (AU) continental decisions, policies and laws related to human rights for both men and women.

ARADI’s specific objective is to enable Pan-African Disability Federations promote the importance of disability rights by using the AU’s African Disability Protocol (ADP) and its Model Disability Law (MDL).

ARADI Campaign Strategy

In mid-2017, the African Union of the Blind (AFUB) and the African Disability Alliance (ADA) entered into a partnership to implement a project known as Alliances for Rights – Africa towards Disability Inclusion (ARADI). The three-year ARADI project is aimed at enabling civil society organisations and Pan-African disability federations to participate and contribute to key African Union decisions, policies and laws related to human rights and persons with disabilities.
