@UnicefNamibia @ndatalav thank you so much for your passion and commitment towards disability inclusion, it was a pleasure working with you in this journey.

The validation of the report is a turning point. The study highlights the direct costs faced by families of persons with disabilities in Namibia. It's time to ensure that national policies & investments reflect the lived realities of persons with disabilities

Today, alongside, the National Federation of People with Disability in Namibia @nfpdn, Office of @VPofNamibia, @MGEPESW_Namibia with civil society & academia, validated a groundbreaking study on the direct costs of disability to families in Namibia. #CostOfInaction

@UnicefNamibia @YetnebereshM @makdagetachew @SHagueUNICEF The findings are clear: disability inclusion needs tailored, integrated, equitable, needs-based, and responsive support. #InclusionMatters #DisabilityRights #UNICEFNamibia

With key sectors receiving significant allocations—Education (23%), Health (15%), and Social Assistance (7.1% of the total budget and 2.7% of GDP), key is to ensure equity, efficiency and accountability in spending. @LikukelaMally
