We appreciate @NUDIPU and @cbmWorldwide for creating spaces where these important conversations continue beyond the strategy's launch. Keeping the voices of persons with disabilities at the centre is essential to successful implementation. #AgainstAllBarriers

The new strategy provides an important opportunity. However, lasting impact will require collaboration among: ✔️ Government ✔️ Organisations of Persons with Disabilities ✔️ Health providers ✔️ Development partners ✔️ Communities Working together is how policy becomes practice

Rehabilitation is more than healthcare. It is about restoring independence, promoting participation, and enabling persons with disabilities to live with dignity and exercise their rights. #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs
