AgrAbility for Africa

The AgrAbility for Africa staff are excited about the forthcoming inaugural AgrAbility for Africa workshop that is slated to take place in Uganda June 5-6, 2023. The event will provide an opportunity for local and international experts in rehabilitation care, assistive technologies, non-governmental organization leaders, global policy makers, and others to understand the barriers of living in rural Africa with disabilities. It will also help in building connections to eliminate the gaps between the needs of those with disabilities and access to health care and assistive technology on the continent

Collaborations and partnerships are greatly helping AgrAbility for Africa boost communication and AgrAbility for Africa disability services awareness efforts among the Lake Victoria islands (approximate 84 clusters). This is increasingly bridging the rehabilitation care, assistive technology, and market information gaps for people with disabilities in Uganda and this part of Africa.
