We would be happy to see government commitment towards skills development of persons with disabilities for decent works. In Ghana, many people living with disabilities have potentials which are untapped. A commitment by government towards providing skills for them through appropriate agencies such as the National board for Small Scale Initiatives will help increase their earning and provide them with decent work.In addition, Government commitment to setting up centres/ halfway homes in all District Assemblies across Ghana to serve as centres for persons with disabilities to use as their training and working centres in the will be appropriate. We also expect government to readily commit resources towards executing its social intervention for persons with disabilities by Committing resources to PWDS through the 3% District Assembly Common Fund and the LEAP programme to economically empower persons with disabilities.
Timeframe and/or implementation plan: By December, 2019. Activities: regular monitoring of the quarterly Disbursements and Usage of the 3% District Assembly common fund to persons with disabilities. Engagement with the District Level Social Welfare and community development offices in all districts in the country
