UNAPD

How do we turn this year’s lessons into stronger programmes next year?

This week, UNAPD and Katalemwa Cheshire Home brought together BEN-MAPP implementing partners from Northern, Central and Eastern Uganda for a two-day meeting to reflect on 2026 and plan for 2027.

UNAPD is at the National Youth Disability Summit in Namugongo, Kyoto, running from 19–24, alongside SHAU and other partners.
Held in commemoration of World Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Day, the summit explores the theme: “A Lifetime of Experiences: From Preconception to Ageing”

Mental health matters beyond a single day!
For persons with psychosocial disabilities, stigma and barriers to mental health services do not disappear when World Mental Health Day ends.

Challenging stigma and advancing inclusion must be everyday commitments.

A white cane helps identify obstacles, but it cannot remove them.

A parked car and blocking the sidewalk, a roadside stall blocking the path, or an open drain can turn an ordinary journey into an unsafe one for someone who is blind or partially sighted.

Today is World Cerebral Palsy Day!

Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, play, participate, and thrive.

Cerebral Palsy may affect movement, posture, and coordination, but the barriers around a child should never determine what they can achieve. 👇🏾
