Vice President Jane Ansah has outlined a new, action-oriented national approach to disability inclusion. Speaking at the launch of a MACODA initiative, she emphasized that government promises must now transition into measurable implementation. She cited recent legislative milestones as a foundation but insisted their value depends on practical enforcement.
The Vice President directed local authorities to intentionally include persons with disabilities in resource allocation, specifically mentioning the Constituency Development Fund and agricultural subsidy programs like FISP. She also stressed that learners with disabilities must be supported within the free secondary education framework. To bolster economic empowerment, she called for increased government procurement from the Bangwe Weaving Factory.
Ansah concluded by identifying accessibility in public infrastructure as an urgent priority, stating that physical barriers undermine progressive policies. Her address positioned disability rights as integral to the national development agenda, demanding accountability from all government levels.
