Strengthening Disability Inclusion in Malawi: A Commitment to Follow-Up and Accountability

Last week, as part of the U4ADP Project, WAG Disability conducted follow-up visits with key stakeholder organisations in Lilongwe. The objective was to evaluate progress in three critical areas: leadership, accountability, and transparency, following training sessions previously delivered to these organisations.

The assessment was carried out using a structured questionnaire specifically designed to capture in-depth information on each organisation’s internal governance structure, operational capacity, and the concrete actions taken to advance the rights and interests of persons with disabilities.

Visits were completed with the following organisations:

AGroPeD (Alinafe Group of Persons with Disabilities)

ADDC (Area Disability Development Committee)

PACSO (Power Aids Control Service Organization)

St John of God (Disability and community health services)

These follow-up visits are not merely evaluative; they are part of an ongoing process of mentorship and capacity strengthening. By assessing real-world application of training, the U4ADP Project aims to ensure that Organisations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs) and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) are not only well-structured but also genuinely responsive to the communities they serve.

WAG Disability remains committed to promoting inclusive development in Malawi through evidence-based support, partnership, and continuous improvement.
