A Situation Analysis identifying the Disability Inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction Entry points in Uganda
Introduction
CBM is an international Christian development organization, committed to improving the quality of life of persons with disabilities in the poorest countries of the world. CBM visualizes, “An inclusive world in which all persons with disabilities enjoy their humanrights and achieve their full potential”. CBM Uganda country office has been working with different partners in Uganda to implement inclusive Eye Health (IEH) and Community Based Inclusive Development (CBID) initiatives. The Uganda office would like to expand its scope of work to include humanitarian action intiatives. The new area of work contributes to achievement of CBM Federation Strategy 2023 goal 4, which focuses on populations affected by natural and manmade disasters have access to inclusive humanitarian assistance.
Worldwide development initiatives lack data related to persons with disabilities and rarely consult persons with disabilities about their needs and how they can be addressed. Persons with disabilities are more vulnerable when disaster strikes, not only due to aspects of their disabilities, but also likelihood to experience adverse socio economic outcomes than others. Poorly planned disaster responses and recovery efforts exacerbate these disparities; leaving persons with disabilities struggling to cope during and after emergency. Yet disasters can cause significant permanent injuries and impairments that can worsen the pre existing conditions for persons with disabilities. CBM is committed to build the capacity of its staff, partners and disaster management entities in Uganda to plan and deliver disaster risk reduction programs that include persons with disabilities. CBM believes in programs that are built on principles of non discrimination, promote accessibility and participation of vulnerable presons. Vulnerable peope such as persons with disabilities should not be left beind in the aftermath of a disaster.
