Our Work
We have implemented several interventions which are always directly or indirectly
positively affecting the lives of people with disabilities.

Gender-based Violence
We are committed to ending all forms of gender-based violence against women with
disabilities. With funding from the Ford Foundation, we conducted nationwide research to
understand the drivers of violence against women with disabilities. We are using this data to
engage stakeholders and design solutions to addressing the challenges, particularly intimate
partner, tech-based, sexual, and physical based violence.

Disability accessibility
Accessibility of physical and digital infrastructure are key to driving meaningful participation
of people with disabilities in the society. We technically contributed to the development of
the National Accessibility Regulations for Physically Build Infrastructure in Nigeria, and we
are committed to ensuring similar regulation is available for digital infrastructure. We have
also conducted accessibility audit for several organisations in private and public sector.

Inclusive Education
Our current priority is promoting disability-inclusive STEM in Nigeria and designing solutions
that promote quality of learning and accelerate transition rate of people with disabilities
from basic to tertiary education. In the past, through the Dutch government funding, we
supported ELIM foundation to evaluate their inclusive education project in Benue State,
their impact assessment and recommended new disability-inclusive education models that
could be localize and make impact on the lives of children with disabilities. Some of these
recommendations are adapted in the revised 2024 National Inclusive Education policy in
Nigeria.
Economic inclusion
With funding from the Disability Rights Fund, we gathered data on how to make the
financial and procurement system inclusive of people with disabilities in Nigeria. The Central
Bank of Nigeria had adopted one of our recommendations in its directives to financial
service providers on the deployment of automated teller machine and debit cards. Our
commitment to reducing inequality and promoting economic opportunities is much
pronounced in our program strategy.

Looking forward
