European Disability and Development Week

How do we best position youth with disabilities for employment? EU-CORD members Light for the World and ZOA will explain their approach and present the results and lessons learned on inclusion of youth with a disability in mainstream technical vocational education and training (TVET) centres in Rwanda, Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda. Light for the World has worked with local governments, training institutes, disabled people’s organisations and companies to make inclusion a reality.

These learnings are now scaled up in a joint EU funded project by ZOA and Light for the World in Uganda: Skills, Employment and Entrepreneurship for Acholi.

Check out the presentation of Zinayida Olshanska at the Lunchtime Conference in Brussels on 8th December as a part of the European Disability and Development Week.
