On 27th May 2026 WAG Disability Rights in collaboration with DAPP Malawi, we also invited the Social Welfare and MACODA (Malawi Council for Disability Affairs) together we successfully conducted a Community Leaders Training in TA Chitukula Lilongwe District.
We were honored to have in attendance, Senior Group Village Heads, Group Village Heads, Religious Leaders and Village Councilors.
Together we explored critical topics including:
– Understanding the African Disability Protocol (ADP)
– Persons with Disability Act (2024)
– National Disability Policy (2025) & Malawi Constitution
– Mainstreaming disability into development plans
– Roles of community leaders in disability inclusion
The U4ADP Initiative was highly appreciated by participants. Many community leaders have already committed to sharing what they learned in village gatherings, churches and council meetings because real change starts with awareness at the grassroots.
We extend our sincere gratitude to all partners and participants for making this training a success. Together we are building inclusive communities!
