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 casework and litigation and with a domestication monitoring function to advance and promote the rights of persons with disabilities across Africa.
