A workshop in The Gambia reviewed a European Union-funded disability inclusion project. Catholic Relief Services and partners like the Gambia Federation of the Disabled are running the program.
The initiative focuses on inclusive education and community awareness for children with disabilities. Activities include training health workers, conducting accessibility checks, and holding radio discussions.
Project manager Saidina Alieu Jarjou noted work across twelve schools in several regions. Representatives stressed that inclusion is a shared responsibility, not charity, urging sustainable efforts beyond the project's end. The meeting aimed to identify challenges and plan next steps for systemic change.
