The Disabled People Organizations (DPOs) in Somalia are in a wakening-up situation with revolutionary of changes, through mass advocacy and awareness in the society for the reduction of discrimination and human rights abuses against the Somalia Disability People. The voice of the disability is gaining support on the ground in the country with legal protection - the United Nation Convection Rights of Persons With Disabilities.
Somalia federal government passed two laws on 31 December 2018 on the National Disability Agency Establishment and passed by the cabinet on the 21 January 2020 and is in the finalization process. This report is highlighting the negligence and deliberate discriminations against the PWDs in Somalia humanitarian aid, a country with more than 3 million people dependent on aid and donor support programs. The PWDs are part of the vulnerable groups with high priority in the humanitarian aid.
Finally the 44 pages report with info graphics, boxes and narrative report is tailored to play an important role towards the humanitarian aid advocacy for the PWDs ration of the aid as more than 10% and the minimal DPOs’ cooperation and partnership with donors. Its worth noting that, the DPOs are actors with more skills and knowledge of the PWDs service delivery, coordination and management.
Therefore, I recommend to the Somalia stakeholders, the civil society, international donors and the federal states and federal government insure the protection of the PWDs and members of their families the humanitarian aid and related assistance to DPOs and PWDs.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr. Abdullahi Hassan Hussein
The Chairperson
