Disability Rights Watch - DRW A coordinated regional structure to Advance Disability Equality through Strategic Litigation and Prom

Disability Rights Watch (DRW )is a regional programme of intervention with practical objective to build the capacity of civil society in southern Africa to independently promote, protect and monitor the domestication of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). DRW will broker knowledge and share/replicate an innovative model developed in Zambia with successes across casew

ork and litigation and with a domestication monitoring function to advance and promote the rights of persons with disabilities across Africa. One of the key issues that DRW seeks to address throughout all its work will be the progressive move for the adoption, signing, ratification, government reporting and shadow reporting and domestication of the United Nations Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

REGISTER FOR THE WEBINAR
Climate change is deepening social inequalities across Africa, disproportionately affecting women, youth, older persons, informal settlement dwellers, and persons with disabilities (PWD). Disability often intersects with other forms of marginalisation, yet remains underrepresented in climate policy, planning, and response.
Within the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN)’s Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) work, disability is recognised as a critical dimension requiring focused attention. PWD are frequently excluded from decision-making, adaptation programmes, and early warning systems, while also facing significant barriers during climate-related emergencies and recovery efforts.
Co-hosted by CDKN and the Norwegian Federation of Organisations of Persons with Disabilities (FFO), this event will bring together practitioners, researchers, and disability-led organisations to share experiences, strategies, and lessons. It aims to strengthen the integration of disability within GESI-responsive, locally led climate action across Africa.
