ForeworD

The Government of Malawi (GoM) is committed to ensuring the promotion of an inclusive society that, in a more concrete way, appreciates disability as part and parcel of human diversity. As such, the development agenda of this country has provided for an environment in which persons with disabilities are able to achieve their fullest potential and in the process contribute to national development like any other citizen. The National Disability Mainstreaming Strategy and Implementation Plan (NDMS&IP), which the Government has developed, is a tool that will guide the public and private sector to effectively mainstream disability in their respective policies, plans, strategies and programmes at all levels of national development.

The Strategy has outlined key areas to mainstream disability in line with other national and international policies and strategies. The key areas include access to: health, education, means of livelihoods, employment and means for social inclusion. As a development strategy, it also provides for measures for mainstreaming disability in other critical cross-cutting issues such as HIV and AIDS, Gender, and Research.

To ensure successful mainstreaming of disability issues, there need to be sufficient understanding of the concept of disability mainstreaming as well as adequate financial mobilization and allocation. On its part, Government will lead in building the capacity of sectors at all levels so that they support this Strategy by way of aligning their respective Policies, plans and programmes accordingly. Above all, we need to join hands so that we can achieve effective disability mainstreaming for an inclusive society.

PreFaCe

The National Disability Mainstreaming Strategy and Implementation Plan has been developed against the background that persons with disabilities continue to face discrimination in accessing basic social services despite the existence of national policies and laws on disability.

Government, through the Ministry of Gender, Children, Disability and Social Welfare, believes that the development of this Strategy provides guiding principles for sectors to review their respective policies and programmes to ensure that disability issues are prioritized. The development of the Strategy affirms Government’s commitment to implement the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), which Malawi signed and ratified in 2007 and 2009, respectively. Implementation of the Strategy will contribute to the realisation of the principle on non-discrimination as provided for in the Constitution of Malawi, the National Policy on the Equalization of Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities and the Disability Act among other standards for promotion of disability rights.

The NDMS&IP is a guide and Action Plan of the GoM for the years 2018-2023 in the field of disability and development. It will inform decisions on areas of support by development partners in the field of disability-inclusive development thereby ensuring a coordinated and harmonized approach to disability and development in Malawi in line with Article 32 of the UNCRPD. The Strategy is one of the initiatives under the Disability Mainstreaming Program (DMP).

The Ministry understands that concerted efforts are required to achieve our goals. It is, therefore, my hope that we will join our efforts in implementing the Strategy for the betterment of the lives of persons with disabilities in the country.

aCKnowleDGeMent

The development of the National Disability Mainstreaming Strategy and Implementation Plan (NDMS&IP) of the Government of Malawi has resulted from a coordinated process and joint effort led by the following organisations: The Department of Disability and Elderly Affairs (DDEA) in the Ministry of Gender, Children, Disability and Social Welfare (MGCDSW), the Norwegian Association of Disabled (NAD), CBM International (CBMI, Previously known as Christian Blind Mission), the Federation of Disability Organisations in Malawi (FEDOMA), Malawi Council for the Handicapped (MACOHA), Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, Ministry of Labour and Manpower Development, the Africa Disability Alliance (ADA), the University of Malawi (UNIMA) and the Malawi Human Rights Commission (MHRC). The Government of Malawi (GoM) is grateful to the aforementioned organisations for their tireless commitment to safeguard the rights of persons with disabilities in Malawi, and to ensure that progressively, provisions of the 2012 Disability Act are being realized.

The process of developing NDMS&IP was consultative and ensured ownership by both Government of Malawi, as a duty bearer and FEDOMA, an organisation that represents the rights holders. The Ministry of Gender, Children, Disability and Social Welfare wishes to acknowledge the immense contribution and leadership role displayed by Mr. Steven Wisemavi Msowoya (in his capacity as Senior Technical Advisor for the DMP) throughout the process of developing the Strategy and its Implementation Plan. Funding for the process was kindly provided by NAD, CBMI, and the German Government through GiZ, UNDP, the Royal Norwegian Embassy and the European Union (EU). Further, CBMI and NAD provided technical advice throughout the process. CBMI and NAD are disability and development organisations that operate at the global level to promote rights-based approaches to development.

1 NATIONAL DISABILITY MAINSTREAMING STRATEGY AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 2018 - 2023

1.0 introDUCtion

For the past decade, disability had not been prioritized as a rights and development issue in the national development agenda. This has been partly because our national development framework specifically MGDS and MGDS II did not adequately address issues of persons with disabilities as provided for in the Republican Constitution, the National Policy on Equalisation of Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities (NPEOPWD), the Disability Act and other rights-based Government policies and legislative frameworks. As such, there have been glaring inequalities in access to basic services and opportunities between persons with disabilities and the non-disabled. How ever, MGDS III recognizes empowerment of persons with disabilities as among cross-cutting areas and has been mainstreamed into the Key Priority Areas (KPAs). This NDMS&IP is, therefore, Government’s effort to address gaps in the Government overriding development strategies by championing the implementation of a comprehensive multi-sectoral plan to promote disability-inclusive development at all levels. It provides direction to the public and private sector on how to promote disability mainstreaming as a process towards equity and inclusive development.

According to the Disability Act (2012), disability is defined as a long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairment, which in interaction with various barriers may hinder the full and effective participation of a person on an equal basis with other persons. By promoting inclusive development through disability mainstreaming, Government of Malawi (GoM) is promoting a paradigm shift from the perception of disability as a charity and philanthropic issue to a human rights and development perspective. By so doing, GoM is equally prioritising disability on its development agenda in line with commitments it made by signing and ratifying UN CRPD in 2007 and 2009, respectively.

The NDMS&IP focuses on mainstreaming disability to promote equitable access to services in the six thematic areas of health, education, livelihoods, empowerment, and social inclusion and cross-cutting issues.

The first part of the NDMS&IP outlines incongruences between national and sectoral policies and pieces of legislation on one hand, and practice on the other and identifies key priority areas/themes of the strategy, medium-term outcomes and strategies for each identified priority area/ theme. This process is largely informed by key findings and recommendations from a study on the Situation of Persons with Disabilities in Malawi (CBMM/NAD, 2011). The study provides background descriptive information on existing national and sectoral policy and legal framework, level of access by children, adult women and males with disabilities to services in the areas of education, health, livelihoods and other social services as well as of participation by persons with disabilities through self-representation in development activities at various levels. A review of relevant documents at the international level further describes the disability situation in Malawi in the global context.

The second part of the NDMS&IP consists of the operational matrix, (Annex 1), a monitoring and evaluation framework (Annex 2) and budget estimates (Annex 3). This part outlines specific actions by various actors both in the public, private and civil society sectors to prioritise disability in their routine policy, programming, resource mobilisation and allocation, monitoring, evaluation and reporting routines. The action plan lays out priority sectors and concrete actions by setting out implementation schedules, defining targets, assign ing responsibility to key duty bearers and rights holders for coordina tion, decision-making, monitoring and reporting, mobilisation and allocation and control of resources.

NATIONAL DISABILITY MAINSTREAMING STRATEGY AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 2018 - 2023 2

The process of developing the NDMS&IP was participatory and involved the active participation of sectoral government ministries and departments, organisations of persons with disabilities and other civil society organisations, parastatals, academic institutions and local and international development partners. Ministry of Gender, Children, Disability and Social Welfare (MGCDSW) through DDEA coordinated the process.

Finally, successful implementation of the NDMS&IP is dependent on the active participation of Sectoral Government Ministries and Departments, Development Partners and all Stakeholders. The need for a coordinated approach to mainstreaming efforts at Central Government as well as local/community level, the latter within the framework of the decentralisation policy cannot be overemphasised.


2.0 rationale For tHe national DiSaBilitY MainStreaMinG StrateGY anD iMPleMentation Plan

In spite of the existence of various policies, legislation and programmes that purportedly address disability as a human rights and development issue, the reality on the ground points to the continued exclusion of persons with disabilities in various spheres of the Malawian society. The majority of persons with disabilities remain disempowered and discriminated against in terms of access to various basic services as well as meaningful involvement in development work compared to their non-disabled counterparts. This status quo can be attributed to the following factors: lack of harmonisation of existing sectoral and national pieces of legislation and policies leading to duplication of functions; lack of harmonisation of programmes and coordination at programme implementation level leading to limited learning from best practices and in some cases wastage of scarce resources; lack of clear implementation mechanisms on the part of individual stakeholders to address the needs and aspirations of persons with disabilities leading to a piece meal approach in addressing disability issues at various levels; inadequate financial and technical capacity in the public sector, disabled persons organisations (DPOs) and other civil society organisations to effectively champion and implement a disability mainstreaming agenda; negative attitudes and lastly, competing agendas of different development partners within the disability sector. The latter has contributed to gaps in the harmonisation of financial and technical support.

The described scenario has necessitated the development of the NDMS&IP to provide a framework for promoting public sector led equity and inclusive development through implementation of national and sectoral policies that take cognisance of the human rights and development needs of persons with disabilities in line with provisions of the UN CRPD, Sections 20, 13, 18 and 30 of the Malawi Republican Constitution, the Disability Act of 2012 and the NPEOPD of 2006 as well as of the recently adopted Sustainable Development Goals. This NDMS&IP sets out a consolidated and comprehensive medium-term vision for improving the well-being of persons with disabilities and covers mainstream policy and programme areas as well as specific services for persons with disabilities.


3.0 Main aSSUMPtionS oF tHe DiSaBilitY MainStreaMinG StrateGY anD iMPleMentation Plan

Disability mainstreaming is defined as the process by which Governments and other stakeholders address the barriers that exclude persons with disabilities from participating equally with others in any activity and service intended for the public, such as educa tion, health, livelihoods, empowerment and social. To facilitate mainstreaming, there is need to review and harmonise policies, laws, programming, institutional arrangements and other operational environments. Further, mainstreaming requires a commitment by stakeholders at all levels, effective planning, capacity building, and mobilisation and equitable allocation of human resources and financial resources, to ensure that the diverse needs of persons with disabilities are adequately met, and mainstreaming initiatives have to be accompanied by targeted programmes and services1.

The effective implementation of this NDMS&IP is subject to the following key assumptions:

1.1 That Government will be committed to implementing the UN CRPD as domesticated through the Disability Act (2012) and the NPEOPWD.

1.2 That Government will take deliberate steps to ensure that subsequent national development strategies are disability inclusive - that they prioritise disability as a rights and development issue with a specific goal (s), specific medium-term outcomes, strategies, output and outcome indicators as well as implementation arrangements.

1.3 That Government will review and harmonise policy statements, guidelines and relevant pieces of legislation on disability to be in tandem with Constitutional provisions on disability, provisions of the Disability Act (2012) and NPEOPD.

1.4 That Government’s sectoral ministries, departments and parastatal bodies responsible for the delivery of services in the areas of health, education, livelihoods, community and social development, infrastructural development, information and technology, environment, climate change, etc. will assign senior staff at Director/Deputy Director level to champion and coordinate disability mainstreaming activities in the respective sectoral ministries, departments and parastatals.

1.5 That Government will support efforts of the line ministry for disability to establish and sustain operations of the National Advisory and Coordinating Committee on Disability Issues (NACCODI) in line with provisions of Section 5(2) of the Disability Act of 2012. Establishment of this structure will facilitate proper coordination and networking among key stakeholders on disability issues.

1.6 That Government will operationalize a Disability Trust Fund in line with the provision of Sections 28 & 29 of the Disability Act of 2012 to ensure availability of resources for targeted programmes and services that focus on mainstreaming disability.

1.7 That having acknowledged disability as a cross-cutting issue, district, town, municipal and city councils will put in place structures that will facilitate consideration of disability as an integral part of council’s development agenda. To this effect, the line ministry for the Local Government shall have as one of its establishment, a committee to coordinate and monitor disability inclusive development at both local and national levels.

1.8 That the private sector will acknowledge that disability is cross-cutting and be committed to supporting mainstreaming issues.

1.9 That civil society organisations will take on board disability issues as integral to their agenda.1.10 That development partners will align their support areas to the strategy and be committed to

provide financial and technical assistance in line with Article 32 of the UN CRPD.1 World Bank/WHO, 2011, p.10.


4.0 BaCKGroUnD : SitUation analYSiS oF PerSonS witH DiSaBilitieS in Malawi

4.1 Disability statisticsThe prevalence of disability in Malawi increased from 2.9% (or 190, 000 persons) of the total population in 19832 to 4.18% (480, 000) in 20033. Statistics from the 2008 Population and Housing Census report indicate that the prevalence rate had declined from 4.18% in 2003 to 3.8% (498, 122) in 2008. Of these 452,743 (90.1%) lived in rural areas while 45,379 (9.9%) in urban areas. Further, the report indicates that the prevalence of disability among children was lower at 2.4% (159,878) than among the general population at 3.8% (498,122)4 The Northern region had the highest prevalence rate among children (3.3%) followed by central region (2.5%) and southern region with 2.0%5. In terms of distribution per main disability categories, the prevalence of persons with difficulties with seeing was unlike in the 2003 study, the highest at 133,273 (26.7 %) followed by those with mobility challenges at 108,870 (21.9%) and hearing challenges at 82,180 (16.5 %). Less than 1% of total population of persons with disabilities (30,198) had difficulties with speech. All other forms of disability were classified as “other” and constituted 35% of persons with disabilities (Ibid). Furthermore, according to NSO’s, projected national population of 15.8 million by 2014, the estimated number of persons with disabilities stands at 600, 400 (NSO, 2015: 8)6.

4.2 Overview of disability and poverty in Malawi According to the 2008 Housing and Population Census, Malawi has a population of 13.1 million with a population growth rate of 2.8% and a projected population for 2014 of 15.8 million (NSO, 2015:8). The country’s population is largely youthful with a median age of 17 years. In 2009, life expectancy at birth was at 44 years for males and 51 years for females while Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita was US$ 8107. The country is ranked 171 of 187 countries on the 2011 UNDP HDI8 9. Malawi’s rural population depends on subsistence farming10.

There are very high levels of poverty among persons with disabilities in Malawi due to exclusion. In particular, women with disabilities rank significantly lower than their male counterparts as well as their female non-disabled counterparts in terms of access to education, employment and earnings (Loeb and Eide, 2004 cited in ILO, 2007:3-4). This may partly explain why persons with disabilities are identified alongside orphans, women and children, the elderly and street children as the most marginalized and vulnerable persons in Malawi (Malawi Government, 2006). In addition, violence against persons with disabilities continues to be an issue of concern in Malawi. A number of cases of sexual abuse against women with disabilities have been reported and some prosecuted11. Of late, there have been increasing cases of abduction, killings and exhumations of remains of persons with albinism for ritual purposes especially in border districts of south-eastern Malawi12. Overall, the greatest form of abuse being

3 Loeb and Eide, 2004, p.564 According to a study conducted in Thyolo and Ntcheu districts by the International Centre for Evidence in Disability and University of Malawi, prevalence of disability among children was at 39% in 2013. Out that of the 2788 children that were screened the estimated prevalence rate of children with epilepsy was at 22%; physical impairment at 39%, bilateral hearing impairment at 27%, intellectual impairment at 26% and bilateral vision impairment (4%). Further, the study revealed that 14% of the children had multiple impairments (Source: International Centre for Evidence in Disability and University of Malawi, 2013:4)

experienced by persons with disabilities is that implementation of the Government policy on disability remains uncoordinated and piecemeal. This has become the main barrier for persons with disabilities to access basic services in the areas of health, education, training and employment, water etc. Furthermore, there is under-representation of persons with disabilities in decision making because the country has not taken adequate measures to facilitate self-representation of persons with disabilities at policy, electoral and governance levels.

4.3 Overview of international policy/legal instruments/guidelines in support of inclusive development

4.3.1 the 2030 agenda for Sustainable Development

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was adopted by all the 193 UN member States on 27 September 2015, came into effect on 1 January 2016 and will be implemented over the next 15 years to 2030. The Agenda includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), 231 indicators and 169 targets. The 17 goals are universal and seek to realize human rights for all persons, gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls. They build on the Millennium Development Goals and complete what the MDGs did not achieve. The goals are integrated, indivisible and focus on the three dimensions of sustainable development, namely, economic, social and environmental. Unlike the MDGs, the SDGs, make specific reference to disability, target all persons and are inclusive. Further, disability is specifically reflected in indicators and targets for Goal 4 (Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all), 8 (Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all) 10 (Reduce inequality within and among countries), 11 (Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable) and 17 (Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development).

Lastly, the 2030 agenda is flexible in terms of allowing each UN member countries to prioritize goals for implementation and to devise country relevant modes of implementation. It is also non-binding.13

4.3.2 the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)

These are the eight goals with targets planned to be achieved by 2015. The specific goals respond to the world’s main development challenges. The goals were drawn from actions and targets contained in the Millennium Declaration adopted by 189 nations and signed by 147 heads of States and Governments during the UN Millennium Summit in September 2000.

The eight MDGs break down into 21 quantifiable targets measurable by 60 indicators

Development of MGDS and MGDS II were largely informed by the goals of the MDGs. As a result, the absence of disability-specific goals, targets, and indicators in the MDGs had been a major constraint to targeting/mainstreaming disability through both MGDS and MGDS II. It, therefore, became difficult to monitor the extent to which development initiatives at country level addressed issues to do with disability inclusive development.

4.3.3 the Un Convention on the rights of Persons with Disabilities (Un CrPD) 2006

This first of its kind disability specific international legal instrument aims to promote, protect and ensure the full and equal enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms by persons with disabilities, and to promote respect for their inherent dignity (Article 1). Malawi, as a member of the United Nations, signed the Convention in 2007 and ratified it in 2009. It has domesticated the Convention largely through the Disability Act of 2012.

4.3.4 the Universal Declaration of Human rights (UDHr) – 1948

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was adopted and proclaimed by the UN General Assembly on the 10th of December 1948. The 30 articles of the Declaration focus on obligations of individual state parties and the global community to take progressive measures to recognize and acknowledge that “the inherent dignity and equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world” (p.1). Articles of the Declaration expound on individual equality and freedoms to live a life of dignity (Articles 1-14); individual’s right to: nationality, family life and to own property (15-17); to freedom of thought, conscience, expression of opinion and peaceful assembly (18-20); participation in managing the affairs of own country as well as to social security (21-22); to access employment, basic necessities, education and to participate in cultural/community life (23-27). The Declaration has provided key issues for development on which a number of international and national rights-based legal and policy frameworks are based. In the case of Malawi, development of the Republic Constitution (1995), the NPEOPD and Disability Act (2012) were partly informed by the UDHR.

4.4 Overview of the local policy and legal framework in relation to disability

4.4.1 Policy Framework

Malawi is a signatory to several international conventions, agreements and instruments. Apart from the UN CRPD, Malawi is a signatory to more than twenty nine (29) International Labour Organization (ILO) Conventions some of which are: Convention (No. 159 of 20th June, 1983) on Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment of Persons with Disabilities which Malawi was the first country in Africa to ratify in 1986; Convention no. 111 on Discrimination in Employment and Convention No. 100 on Equal Remuneration Convention, 195114. In addition, the country ratified the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights of 1981 in 1989, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UN CRC) of 1989 in 1991 and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights of 1966 in 1994 among others.

Principles of non-discrimination, equal rights and equalization of opportunities that characterise the cited international conventions and agreements feature to varying degrees in GoM policies and legislation on disability. The following paragraphs present a summary of key local policy instruments on disability.

4.4.1.1 National Policy on Equalisation of Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities (NPEOPD)

This Policy acknowledges disability as a social construct and recognizes constitutional and UN provisions and declarations on disability. Its framework reflects a human rights and development approach to disability. Its purpose is to “promote the rights of persons with disabilities to enable them to play a full and participatory role in society” by ensuring that GoM takes concrete measures to facilitate equal access by persons with disabilities to the same fundamental rights and responsibilities. The Policy, therefore, promotes mainstreaming of disability as an integral component of national and sectoral policies, programming including monitoring and reporting arrangements15.

The Policy comprises 13 specific priority policy areas for mainstreaming disability in sectoral policies and programmes as follows: Disability Prevention, Early Identification and Intervention, Rehabilitation, Accessibility, Transport, Information and Communication, Education and Training, Economic Empowerment, Social Welfare and Social Protection, Self-Representation and Participation, Sports, Recreation and Entertainment, Housing, Research and Appropriate Technology and HIV and AIDS.

14 The other ILO Conventions include: Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (No. 29); Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organize Convention, 1948 (No.

87); Right to Organize and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98); Equal Remuneration Convention, 1951 (No. 100); Abolition of Forced Labour Convention, 1957

(No. 105); Discrimination (Employment and occupation) Convention, 1958 (No. 111); Minimum Age Convention, 1973 (No. 138); and Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention,

1999 9No. 182) (Refer to ILO and Development Cooperation Ireland, 2005:7) 15 Malawi Government, 2006:1-2.


4.4.1.2 Malawi Growth and Development Strategy III

This is a medium term Government strategy designed to contribute to Malawi’s long term development aspirations. The strategy covers a period of five years, from 2017 to 2022. Its objective is to move Malawi to a productive, competitive and resilient nation through sustainable agriculture and economic growth, energy, industrial and infrastructure development while addressing water, climate change, environmental management and population challenges. The MGDS III is aligned to Malawi’s international, continental and regional commitments such as the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the African Union Agenda 2063. As such, its identified five Key Priority Areas (KPAs) have a direct link to such commitments, providing a strong basis for the MGDS III as an implementation tool for the SDGs and other international agendas in the medium term. The five Key Priority Areas include: (i) Agriculture, Water Development and Climate Change Management; (ii) Education and Skills Development; (iii) Transport and ICT Infrastructure; (iv) Energy, Industry and Tourism Development; and (v) Health and Population.

Unlike its predecessors, MGDS and MGDS II, the strategy recognizes empowerment of persons with disabilities as among cross-cutting areas (the others being gender balance, youth development, HIV and AIDs management, environment and climate change management, disaster risk reduction and resilient building, peace, security and good governance) that have been mainstreamed into the KPAs to ensure its successful implementation. By mainstreaming cross-cutting issues into KPAs, the strategy assumes that no one is left behind in its implementation.

A simple analysis of MGDS III’s five key priority areas shows existence of disability specific outcome(s) or strategies for the three areas of Agriculture Water Development and Climate Change Management; Education and Skills Development; and Transport and ICT Infrastructure and no disability specific outcome(s) or strategies are captured for the remaining two key priority areas of Energy, Industry and Tourism Development; and Health and Population. Nonetheless, they have outcomes and strategies that are inclusive in nature if they are well implemented. On the other hand, chapter 7 of the strategy addresses other development areas including empowerment of persons with disabilities16.

4.4.1.3 Malawi Vision 2020– Long-term development perspective for Malawi

This Policy outlines progress envisioned in relation to the country’s development by the year 2020. It focuses on equitable redistribution of income to address disparities in access to the following: land, education, employment and business opportunities between people in the urban and rural areas, persons with disabilities and the non-disabled and between men and women. In part, the Vision 2020 Policy seeks “to improve access, quality and equity at the various levels of the education system”17 by building capacity in the education system through training of specialist teachers and putting up more accessible school infrastructure. Similar developments were intended in the areas of vocational training education, youths, sports, and others including enactment of relevant legislation on disability. The NPEOPDS and the Disability Act are some of the outcomes of the implementation of the Malawi Vision 2020 agenda. The Vision 2020 strategy albeit with a strong focus on disability inclusive outcomes has had limited impact largely due to exclusion of disability issues in its medium-term strategies of MGDS and MGDS II.

4.4.1.4 The National Education Sector Plan (NESP) – 2017-2020

This National Education Sector Plan (NESP) sets out Government’s education sector goals, objectives and proposals and how such goals and objectives will be realized over the coming decade 2008-2017 and now extended to 2020. The goals and objectives relate to expanded Equitable Access to education, improved Quality and Relevance of education and improved Governance and Management of education. These three key factors are earmarked for making a positive difference in education for its citizens and the nation. The NESP was operationalised by two medium term plans namely the Education Sector Implementation Plans (ESIP I 2008-2012; and ESIP II 2013-2017). 16 Malawi Growth and Development Strategy (MGDS) III (2017 – 2022) 17 ILO and Development Cooperation Ireland, 2005, p. 14


The NESP acknowledges lack of access to education among learners with special education needs in ECD, as well as at primary and secondary levels of education, non-formal education such as adult literacy and for out of school youths. NESP sets out to improve access and equity to ECD by promoting early detection, intervention and inclusion for children with special health and education needs and designing of a curriculum for children with disabilities. The NESP also realizes the need to have targeted activities for men and adults with special needs and provide teaching and learning materials for both children and youth special needs and other adults in order to promote access and equity to non-formal education. To address the needs of learners with disabilities at all levels of the education system in a more comprehensive manner, Government further developed and adopted the National Inclusive Education Strategy (NIES). This is a 5 year (2017 to 2021) national framework for promoting quality inclusive education at all levels of education.

4.4.1.5 TEVETA Policy (2nd edition of 2013)

The Technical Entrepreneurial, Vocational Education and Training Authority (TEVETA) through the TEVET Act of 1999 prioritise persons with disabilities and other vulnerable persons as an integral component of its governance and policy structure. For instance, the Policy provides for self-representation by persons with disabilities and or their representative institutions as well as of women on the organisation’s governance structure. Further, TEVET secretariat has taken concrete measures to target youth with disabilities in its formal, non-formal and informal training Programmes. This notwithstanding TEVETA’s policy and Strategic Plan for 2013 – 2018 does not specifically prioritise persons with disabilities as a specific vulnerable group. Persons with disabilities are lumped within the categories termed “female, vulnerable, marginalised, the disadvantaged and persons with special needs”. Further, the only reference to disability in TEVETA’s Strategic Plan is a mention of the physically disadvantaged.

4.4.1.6 Other national policies and instruments

These include the National Gender Policy (2015) which provides for gender mainstreaming, backstopping support and monitoring across programmes through the National Gender Action Plan; the National Sports Policy (2015) which embraces the concept of “Sports for All” and promotes access to and participation in various forms of sports by persons with disabilities, women, the elderly and children; the Small and Medium Enterprises Policy (SMEP) of 1996 which promotes access to entrepreneurial skills and credit and finally, the Employment and Labour Policy (2018). The National Climate Change Management Policy (2016) promotes inclusion of disadvantaged groups including persons with disabilities in the development, implementation, monitoring, and reporting of climate change actions on adaptation, mitigation, technology development and transfer, and capacity building. Similarly, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change that the international community adopted in November 2015 in Paris, France also promotes and recognises the role of disadvantaged groups in addressing climate change. In addition, the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015-2030) recognises disability, among others, as the critical area in disaster risk reduction in its guiding principles.

4.4.2 local legal framework on disability

4.4.2.1 The Malawi (Republican Constitution) of 1995

The Bill of Rights (Chap IV) of the Republican Constitution in Section 20 (1) guarantees equal and effective protection for all persons and prohibits discrimination on any basis including based on disability. Further, the principle of the national policy in Section 13 calls upon the State to progressively develop policies and legislation towards achieving the goals of children and persons with disabilities, gender equality, health and education among others. For persons with disability, the principle of national policy in section 13 (g) provides for the institutionalisation of measures to avail greater access to public places, fair opportunities in employment and the fullest possible participation in all spheres of the Malawi society. Similarly, the Constitution in Section 30-(1) provides for the right to development and enjoyment of economic, social,


cultural and political development for its citizenry and calls on state organs to put measures in place to ensure that marginalised persons such as women, children and the disabled are supported to realise this right. Further, Section 30 (2, 3) prescribes measures to ensure, “Equality of opportunity for all in their access to basic resources, education, health services, food, shelter, employment and infrastructure”. These constitutional provisions alongside relevant international covenants and human rights instruments form the basis for NPEOPWD.

4.4.2.2 The Disability Act of 2012

The Disability Act (2012) is Malawi’s most recent rights and development based disability-specific legislation. Largely, it has domesticated the UN CRPD and serves as a tool for implementing constitutional provisions and enforcement of the NPEOPD. The Act provides for: the development of accessible communication formats and adoption of Sign language as an official language; right of association including participation in public and political life by persons with disabilities; access to land tenure and housing, financing and property rights, and accessible institutional housing, among others; development of universal standards of accessibility; equitable access to education and regular data collection on disability to inform planning. Further, the Act provides for the establishment of a Disability Trust Fund to readily avail resources for disability programmes and resources as well as for the establishment of National Advisory and Coordinating Committee on Disability Issues (NACCODI) to take on oversight functions at the policy level. Further, the Act also commits the State to provide appropriate health care services to persons with disabilities, including prevention, early identification, intervention and other services designed to minimize and prevent the occurrence of more disabilities.

4.4.2.3 Education Act of 2013

The Education Act (2013) is anchored on the principles of access, quality, relevance, efficiency, equality, equity, liberalisation, partnership, decentralisation, transparency and accountability as promulgated by the Republican Constitution. It promotes equal access to education for all people in Malawi “irrespective of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, disability or any other discriminatory characteristics”18 and provides for tuition-free education in Government schools and compulsory education for every child below the age of eighteen (18).

In addition, it provides for the establishment, administration and management of primary, secondary and teacher training schools, establishes institutional structures and assigns responsibility to the Minister for Education to make decisions on the development of curriculum, registration and licensing of teachers and registration, inspection of all schools and teacher training colleges including private schools and colleges. Further, the Act promotes harmonisation of national education policies and policy guidelines such as Free Primary Education (FPE) Policy, Inclusive Education Policy Guidelines, and Decentralization Policy. The Education Act (2013) also fosters close alignment of education priorities in Government of Malawi’s Vision 2020 and the Malawi and Growth and Development Strategies. Lastly, the Act provides for the creation of an Education Advisory Council, the Teachers Council of Malawi and the Malawi Institute of Education to support management of education in Malawi.

4.4.2.4 Handicapped Persons Act, Cap 33:02 of 1971

The Handicapped Persons Act (1971) provides for the establishment and regulation of services of the MACOHA. The Act gives powers to MACOHA to design and implement rehabilitation Programmes and services for the social economic empowerment of persons with disabilities, regulate operations of organizations of and for persons with disabilities, raise awareness on disability to facilitate public and active community involvement in disability issues, among other things. Further, it gives power to MACOHA to mobilise resources for its rehabilitation programmes and services.

18 Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, 2015, p.4


The Handicapped Persons Act (1971) has been overtaken by developments in the disability sector. While disability is currently defined as a social construct, the Act retains the medical/deficit model. To address this and related shortfalls, the Government is in the process of reviewing the Act with the expectation to repeal it in favour of a more rights and development oriented piece of legislation.

4.4.2.5 The Employment Act of 2000

The Employment Act (2000) is the legal framework for regulating basic conditions of employment in Section 5, prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in employment whether at recruitment or in the course of employment or indeed in terms of termination. It further encourages affirmative action for disadvantaged groups, including Persons with Disabilities.

The Labour Relations Act of 1996 does the same in section 7 of that Act in terms of freedom of association and trade unions or organisational rights. Furthermore, Malawi is a signatory to International Labour Convention number 159 of 1983 on Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment of Disabled Persons and is, therefore, under obligation to apply this convention in practice.

4.4.2.6 Other relevant pieces of legislation

These include the Technical Entrepreneurial and Vocational Education and Training (TEVET) Act (1999) which provides for the appointment of representative of persons with disabilities on the institution’s governance structure as well as equitable access to skills training by persons with disabilities and the Local Government Act, 2010 that provides for self-representation of special interest groups at local assembly level. These include women, businesspersons and persons with disabilities.


5.0 overview oF aCCeSS to ServiCeS BY PerSonS witH DiSaBilitieS in Malawi

5.1 Preamble

There is a dearth of nationally representative concrete data and information on the level of access to programmes and services for persons with disabilities in Malawi. The scanty information that is available is from sample studies19 , baseline and assessment reports20. This is largely due to poor targeting of disability in national and sectoral development strategies21 and attendant monitoring frameworks at both local council and Central Government level. The following paragraphs sum up the extent to which the Government, its agencies and other partners have promoted disability rights through targeted interventions as well as inclusive practices.

5.2 IdentificationofKeyPriorityAreas

5.2.1 Priority area 1: access to Health Services “Only healthy people with the support of a functioning health sector can ensure sustainable development of their societies. A loss of health is a loss not only to the person but also to the person’s family and society as a whole”.22

Background MGDS III sums up the correlation between a healthy population and development as follows: “Health is the linchpin for social economic development. Improving health outcomes is essential and also a prerequisite for increased national productivity accelerated economic growth and poverty reduction”23. In addition, “good health provides people with “the freedom to work, learn and engage actively in family and community work”24.

AchievementsProgress reports on the implementation of the first MGDS and MGDS II outline a number of achievements in relation to improved access to health services for the general population as follows:

1. Reduction of infant mortality rate from 66/1,000 in 2010 to 42/1,000 during implementation of MGDS II in 2016.

2. According to the 2010 DHS report, 81% of children aged 12-23 months were fully immunised. The figure slightly declined during implementation of MDGS II to 71.3% in 2016.

3. Between 2004 and 2010 the proportion of children with ARIs taken to a health facility for treatment increased from 19.6% to 78% in 2016 while pneumonia case fatality reduced from 5.7% in 2008 to 4.5 % in 2012. The trend was the same during implementation of MGDS II.

4. An increase in women delivering in health centres from 73% in 2010 to 95% in 2016

5. Reduction of under-five mortality rate from 112/1000 in 2010 to 63/1000 in 2016.

(2002). Disability Inclusion in Health, p. 1 cited in WHO. (2002). WHO Conference on Health and Disability23 Malawi Government, 2017, p. 4724 WHO et al, 2010 – Heath Component, p. 3).


6. Reduction of maternal mortality rate from 510/100,000 in 2010 to 439/100,000 in 2016. Under MGDS II, maternal mortality declined further and currently stands at 497 per 100,000 births. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates in 2013 placed Malawi among the top 16 countries with the highest maternal mortality rates.

7. Reduction in the prevalence of HIV among 15-24 year old pregnant women attending antenatal care from 12% in 2009 to 8.8% 2016.

8. Improvements in the area of HIV and AIDS attributed to increased awareness programmes in HIV prevention and behavioural change; increased access to a number of preventive interventions; increased access to voluntary HIV and AIDS Testing and Counselling (HTC) sites, and the Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) Programme.

9. A reduction in Malaria in-patient case fatality rate. Under the MGDS II, Malawi made notable success with malaria incidence declining from 214 cases per 1,000 population in 2012/13 Financial Year (FY) to 202 cases per 1,000 population in 2014/15 FY, and a reduction of inpatient deaths from around 54 deaths per 1,000 population in 2002/03 to less than one death per 1,000 population from 2012/13 to 2014/15 FY.

10. An increase in the proportion of births attended by skilled health personnel from 75% in 2009 to 87.4% in 2014.

11. Improvements in nutrition indicators of stunting from 48% in 2005 to 35.8% in 200925; under MGDS II stunting prevalence further declined from 42.4 percent in 2013 to 37% in 2016.

12. Life expectancy at birth stands at 58 for males and 60 for females.

13. The development of a health strategic plan for the period 2017 to 2022.

14. The Tuberculosis treatment success rate at 86% which is slightly above the World Health Organization (WHO) target of 85%26.

Through the delivery of an EHP at the primary level of health care, disability awareness programmes, early intervention, assessment and referral of persons with disabilities to service providers, efforts to produce and distribute mobility appliances through community based rehabilitation programmes in 12 of the 28 districts and implementation of some HIV and AIDS awareness and impact mitigation programmes, there has been a corresponding increase in access to some of the health services by persons with disabilities.

Albeit the above paragraphs point to improved access to health services for the general populace, it remains a challenge to ascertain the level of access and quality of services that persons with disabilities have enjoyed over the reported period. This is due to lack of disability-specific health indicators in both MGDS and MGDS II.

ChallengesIn a survey conducted by Loeb and Eide (2004), nearly 7 in 10 respondents (all persons with disabilities) indicated that they had become disabled at less than 20 years of age. A significant proportion of the respondents said did not have access to health services. For example, while 84% of the respondents were aware of health services and about the same proportion expressed the need for such a service, only 61% received health services. Similarly, while 69% of persons with disabilities needed assistive devices and counselling services, only 5% received them27. In addition, interventions to address mental illness were not part of the essential health package (EHP) under the Ministry of Health Programme of Work (PoW) although it is estimated that 14% of the global burden of disease can be attributed to neuropsychiatric

25 Malawi Government, 2012, pp.6-10. 26 HSSP 2011-201627 Loeb and Eide, 2004


disorders, with around 20% of the world’s children and adolescents estimated to have mental disorders or problems while similar types of disorders are reported across cultures28 .

In addition, persons with disabilities have comparatively very limited access to awareness materials on and treatment for HIV and AIDS in part due to awareness messages not being in user-friendly formats especially for persons with intellectual, hearing and seeing difficulties. In addition, access to health facilities remains difficult as a result of: long distances to nearest public health facilities; limited access to rehabilitation services such as occupational and physiotherapy services, limited access to mobility and other assistive devices emanating from non-decentralization of rehabilitation services within the Ministry of Health delivery structure as well inadequate number of specialist cadres such as Orthopedic Surgeons, Ophthalmologists, Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language Pathologists, Rehabilitation Technicians, Medical Social Workers, Community Nurses etc. In addition, there is limited availability of treatment for epilepsy because the drug is not part of EHP. Furthermore, persons with albinism face a number of institutional barriers, for instance, most clinics and hospitals across countries in Malawi do not offer advice on UV radiation protection for persons with albinism29; there is lack of sunscreen lotions in these hospitals and clinics owing it to the high cost associated. Consequently, lack of protection from the sun is leading to skin cancer. Skin Cancer in Malawi remains a life-threatening condition for most persons with albinism, killing most of the attack remnants by the age of 40 in agreement to an epidemiological study in Tanzania30. Another institutional barrier is evident is the lack of knowledge and awareness on albinism among medical personals in clinics and hospitals. As a result, topics on albinism are not included in health education services offered in clinics and hospitals especially during the pre-natal and post-natal lessons given to expectant mothers, parents and caregivers.

Overall, access to health services by persons with disabilities remains comparatively limited due to the following identified key challenges/ issues:

1. The absence of a national health policy31 and its attendant legislation.

2. A critical shortage of human resource especially of middle level cadres, namely, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, dermatologists, ophthalmologists and speech therapists, medical social workers, medical rehabilitation technicians (audiologists, orthopaedic technologists).

3. Insufficient numbers of specialist staff in the fields of medical rehabilitation and ophthalmology to provide interventions at tertiary levels of health care.

4. Critical human and financial capacity challenges for production of assistive devices within Government service delivery structure. (Currently, Government is able to produce devices at only one of the four referral hospitals, Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre). However, MoH signed a Memorandum of Understanding with 500 miles for the provision of assistive aids at Kamuzu Central and Mzuzu Central Hospitals.

5. Sporadic supply of sunscreen which is costly, and with no structured distributional channels and lack of education on sun protection and the need for a regular skin check-up.

6. Physical inaccessibility of most health infrastructure to persons with mobility and visual challenges.

7. The requirement to pay for services in private and CHAM institutions.

8. Communication challenges medical personnel especially for persons with visual and hearing difficulties when they attempt to seek various health services.

9. Negatives attitudes towards persons with disability on the part of some medical staff especially when it comes to addressing reproductive health needs of women with disabilities.

10. Dependency on donor support vis-à-vis provision of interventions in the area of ability restoring surgery for persons with cataract and orthopaedic impairments.

11. Inadequate access to information on HIV and AIDS in accessible formats for persons with vision and hearing difficulties, the Deaf-Blind, and persons with intellectual disabilities.

12. Coverage of mental health services within the health delivery system (Malawi Government, 2012) tends to discriminate against persons with mental disabilities.

13. Lack of awareness by some persons with disability on causes and prevention of disability to the extent that some people believe disability can be contagious.

14. The current health strategic plan (2017 to 2022) does not provide for essential drugs and services for some type of disabilities such as sunscreen lotion for persons with albinism in the essential health package.

Strategic GoalAchievement of the highest attainable standard of health by persons with disabilities

Medium term expected outcomesThe midterm expected outcomes include:

1. Increased Access to health services by persons with disabilities;

2. Improved Awareness of disability and its implication on health; and

3. Enhanced Participation and active involvement of persons with disabilities in the health delivery system.

StrategiesThe key strategies include:

• Developing sectoral policy and legislation on health in line with national policy and legal frameworks on disability;

• Promoting and strengthening implementation of targeted interventions to increase access to preventive (such as the local production of sunscreen specifically for persons with albinism and provision of mobile eye and skin clinics), medical and rehabilitative services for persons with disabilities;

• Building human capacity to respond to the needs of persons with disabilities at all levels;

• Integrating disability in the Health Information Management system;

• Promoting participation of persons with disabilities during the observance of World Health Day, World Mental Health Day and International Day of the Disabled;

• Promoting equal access to HIV and AIDS services;

• Promoting safer sexual and reproductive health practices among persons with disabilities;

• Improving nutritional status of persons with disabilities living with HIV.


5.2.2 Priority area 2: access to education Education is a fundamental right, a catalyst for social economic development and an instrument for empowering persons with disabilities. Without education, it is almost impossible to develop the quality of life of persons with disabilities. Education is important for survival, protection and development of individual potentialities. Access to education by persons with disabilities in Malawi is provided for under Section 9 of Disability Act of 2012. The National Education Sector Plan (NESP II, 2008 – 2017 now extended to 2020) facilitates equitable access to education, improved quality and relevance of education and effective governance and management of education in Malawi.

NESP identifies four types of education. These are Basic Education which consists of Early Childhood Development (ECD), Complementary Basic Education (CBE), Adult Literacy and Primary Education; Secondary Education; and Tertiary Education which comprise Teacher Education, Technical and Vocational Education, and Higher Education (Universities and Colleges), and support services32. The education sector provides special needs education (SNE) services to learners with various disabilities and special educational needs (SEN). The sector recently adopted inclusive education approach and developed the National Strategy on Inclusive Education (NSIE, 2016) to ensure learners with disabilities and diverse needs have equitable access to education at all levels.

Achievements

Over the last five years (2011-2015), the Education Sector has made some strides in areas of access, equity and gender parity in basic education sub-sector. At ECD level, there has been an increase in access to services. The Net Enrolment Rate (NER) has moved from 32% in 2011 to 40% in 2015. This suggests that 60% of ECD-aged children are still not accessing the services in the country33. The low participation rate at this level has implications for the development of cognitive skills in the early years of the learning cycle. At CBE level, the enrolment has almost doubled between 2014 and 2015 from 21,000 to 40,000 learners34. CBE is an important initiative which addresses issues of school drop-out and bringing back learners into mainstream education. Despite yielding good results, CBE is available in a few selected districts and has no special provision for those with disabilities. The primary education sub-sector has registered an increase in the number of primary schools from 5,395 in 2011 to 5,738 in 2015, which represents 6.4% growth rate. The enrolment has increased from 4,034,220 (2,033,711 girls) in 2011 to 4, 795,196 learners in 2015. Furthermore, the enrolment of learners with disabilities and SEN in primary education is currently at 115,284 comprising 59,521 girls and 55,763 boys as follows: Physical impairment - 8,729 (8.31%), blind - 474 (0.45%), deaf - 3,085 (2.94%), hard of hearing - 24, 231 (23.07%), learning difficulties - 47639 (45.35%) and low vision - 20844 (19.88%)35. However, data does not specifically show a number of learners with albinism within those with low vision. Enrolments in secondary schools have been increasing over the years. According to EMIS, the enrolment has been increasing from 240, 918 in 2010 to 358,033 in 2015. Out of the total enrolment, 1.3% represented learners with disabilities and SEN. The Ministry of Education has also introduced a programme to build teacher capacity to support learners with speech and sight challenges (deaf-blind) at Montfort SNE College.

Challenges

Despite the progress made, the Education Sector faces several challenges to achieve the national 32 ESIP II 2013-201733 EMIS Bulletin 201434 The 2014/15 Education Sector Performance Report35 http://csecmw.org/Education-Statistics-2014.pdf


educational goals and objectives. Improved access to formal education by learners with disabilities continues to be constrained by the following key challenges: limited capacity for early identification and intervention at pre and primary school level especially for learners with high learning needs such as those with communication difficulties, deaf blindness and those with developmental delays; a top heavy management structure for coordinating education for learners with disabilities due to lack of decentralisation of management of SNE; inadequate teacher capacity due to inadequate teacher education institutions that specifically train teachers on inclusive education and lack of motivation/incentives to teachers that were trained in inclusive education among other factors overcrowded classrooms, inadequate specialised teaching, learning and assessment resources, poor sanitation facilities especially for girls with disabilities, inaccessible and poor school infrastructure36, inadequate involvement of parents/guardians in the education of their children, limited access to assistive devices, incongruent curriculum, inadequate assessment system, inadequate teacher support for learners especially at tertiary level37 38. In addition, for learners with albinism, lack of protective clothing, inadequate availability of sunscreen lotion are among the key challenges.

Strategic GoalThe Goal is to promote access to equitable, relevant and quality education for learners with disabilities.

Medium term expected outcomesThe medium term expected outcomes include:

• Increased enrolment, retention and progression of learners with disabilities at all levels of education.

• Improved quality and relevance of education for learners with disabilities.

• Improved management and governance of the education system.

Strategies

• Enforcing compliance with Education Act (2013), other pieces of legislation and sectoral policies on education;

• Improving retention of learners with disabilities;

36 The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology issued a directive to its institutions to ensure that all new structures (school blocks, hostels and outside environment) are disability friendly.37 The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology deploys specialist primary school teachers to provide support especially to learners with visual and hearing impairments at chancellor College, a constituent college of the University of Malawi. Similar support is not provided at other tertiary institutions.38 Chavuta, 2010; Kvam and Braathen, 2006; Msowoya, 1999; McDonald, 1992 cited in Munthali, 2011


• Strengthening line ministry’s capacity to plan, monitor and coordinate inclusive education; and

• Promoting community participation in the education of learners with disabilities.

5.2.3 Priority area 3: access to means of livelihoodsLivelihood refers to the means by which people are able to meet their basic needs and in the process contributing to their living standards. Such means must be decent and lead to a productive life and a life of dignity. Some of the key means for livelihood include access to skills development, financial services, gainful employment, productive use of land resources including agricultural production and social protection measures. A skilled and productive labour force is vital to improved family incomes, national economic growth and improved living standards39. Further, considering that agriculture is the key driver of economic growth in Malawi employing about 80 percent of the total workforce, contributing over 75 percent to foreign exchange earnings, and approximately 30 percent of gross domestic product (GDP)40, it is important that there should be equity in the distribution and use of land resources. Similarly, implementation of a comprehensive social protection programme can go a long way to “protect people against poverty and loss or lack of income through ….disability…”41

Access to means of livelihoods for persons with disabilities is comprehensively addressed in both international and national instruments. At the domestic level, the Republican Constitution of 1995 promotes the values of human dignity, equality and non-discrimination, freedom and democracy. Section 30 (1-3) enshrines a right to development of all persons and calls upon the state to give, women, children, and persons with disabilities special consideration in the application of this right. The section specifically calls on the state to take measures to, amongst other things, promote equality of opportunity for all to facilitate access to basic resources, education, health services, food, shelter, employment and infrastructure; to introduce reforms aimed at eradicating social injustices and inequalities. On its part, MGDS II addressed livelihood issues under several subthemes of Theme 1 (Sustainable Economic Growth), namely, Agriculture (Sub-theme 1), Labour and Employment (sub-theme 7), and Land (Sub-theme 8). Furthermore, Government endorsed a decent work Programme for Malawi in 2011 to promote access to “opportunities for work that is productive and that delivers a fair income, security in the workplace, social protection for families, better prospects for personal development and social integration, freedom for people to express their concerns and to organise and participate in the decisions that affect their lives as well as equality of opportunity and treatment for all women and men4243.

In addition, Section 21 of the Disability Act of 2012 enforces access to land tenure and housing, financing and property right and accessible institutional housing by persons with disabilities while, Policy Priority Area 6: (Education and Training) of the NPEOPD promotes equal access and inclusion of persons with disabilities in education and training Programmes. Priority Policy Area 7 (Economic Empowerment) of the same Policy focuses on increasing access to technical, vocational and entrepreneurial training opportunities. It also promotes access to loans and credit facilities for income generating activities as well as access to open employment opportunities for persons with disabilities. On the other hand, sectoral pieces of legislation such as the Employment Act of 2000 under section 5 (1) promote anti-discriminatory employment practices while TEVET Act of 1999 promotes inclusive practices in recruitment and in the provision of skills including vocational training through public and private vocational training institutions, non-formal and informal training arrangements.

Persons with disabilities have the same needs for financial services as the non-disabled persons for starting and to developing businesses as well as for managing their lives. WHO CBR Guidelines outline five

39 Malawi Growth and Development Strategy, 2006, p. viii).40 Malawi Growth Development Strategy II, 2011-2016, p. 2541 WHO et al, 2010– Empowerment Component, p.5742 Malawi Government, 201143 Also see www.ilo.org/global/Themes/decentwork/lang-en/index.htm, accessed 15 May 2010 cited in WHO et al, 2010 – Livelihood Component, p.4)


major elements of livelihoods for persons with disabilities namely, skills development, self-employment, wage employment, financial services and social protection. A consideration of gender issues and social protection measures is important to ensure availability of safety net to protect people against extreme poverty and loss or lack of income through illness, disability or old age44.

Achievements

The country’s economic growth of an average of 7.1 percent in the five year period to 2010 resulted in the creation of new jobs and increased opportunities for income generation. For example, formal employment in the private sector increased from 709,118 in 2005 to 897,277 in 201045.

Statistics from an earlier period indicate that there was a very minimal difference of employment between persons with disabilities and their non-disabled counterparts rating 62% for persons with disabilities against 65% for the non-disabled46. Nevertheless, other earlier studies indicate that opportunities for skills training were available to 48% of persons with disabilities 71% of whom indicated that the skills acquired were not useful in enabling them to find work47. The studies also show that unemployment was higher among persons with disabilities at 58% compared to non-disabled persons at 53%. While among potentially economically active persons within the 15 – 65 age range, more persons (41%) with disabilities had acquired some form of livelihood skills compared to 39% of non-disabled persons48and that the proportion of men with disabilities that had acquired livelihood skills was higher than that of women with disabilities. The study by Loeb and Eide also showed that 68% of persons with disabilities that had skills were employed in one way or the other and those households with members with disabilities were found to have a comparatively lower standard of living and therefore, needed more financial and emotional support49. Lastly, a study commissioned by NAD50underlined the need for CBR programmes to prioritise implementation of strategies that promote skills training, access to business credit and training in small-scale business management.

The government has made efforts to mainstream disability through operations of its Malawi Rural Development Fund – MARDEF Youth Entrepreneurship Development Fund – YEDEF and introduction of community skills development Centers and community vocational training college. Similarly, albeit through Government’s social protection programmes, some of the needy persons with disabilities (the ultra-poor and those from labour-constrained households) have benefitted from cash transfers in the few targeted districts and that a preliminary evaluation of the programme showed that there were improved food security, school attendance and access to health services51.

Challenges

The absence of reliable labour statistics specific to persons with disabilities makes it a challenge to establish the overall number, level and type of employment created for persons with disabilities in the cited period and to date. Although Government has provided some opportunities for skills development for male and female persons with disabilities, they continue to face barriers to access skills training, decent work, land and social protection services among other services. The underlying challenges in this sector include inadequate training opportunities in vocational skills at formal, informal and non-formal level at foundation, technical/professional and entrepreneurial level both in the public and private sectors; lack of guidelines for adaptation of work environment, inadequate attention to address issues of health and safety and inaccessibility of physical infrastructure at workplaces; low self-esteem resulting from attitudinal barriers translating to low participation of persons with disabilities in economic and

44 WHO, 2010: CBR Livelihood Component.45 Malawi Government, 2012, pp. 23-24. 46 NSO, 2008.47 ILO, 200748 Loeb and Eide, 2004,p. 9349 Ibid, p. 1750 Makoko et al 201251 Schubert and Huijbegts, 2006 cited in Munthali, 2011


development community activities (Mataya and Msowoya, 2003) and limited opportunities to access microfinance and job placement programmes in recent years.

Social protection programmes have not been rolled out across the country and it is not holistic to address challenges that persons with disabilities meet to mitigate the impact of disability. For example, costs of procurement and maintenance of assistive devices and payment for interpretation services have not been considered in the existing programme arrangement. Further, the cash transfer programme and other social protection measures have not considered the high level of vulnerability of poor families that have children and adults with disabilities compared to poor families with non- disabled members.

The absence of disability-specific data on persons with disabilities that have benefitted from the various social protection measures save for the cash transfer programme makes it rather difficult to establish the impact of the programme on persons with disabilities, the majority of who may not have been targeted.

In terms of access to land and productive use of land, Government implemented some initiatives including reallocation of land to poor households largely through the Community Based Rural Land Development Project (CBRLDP). As is the case with the most social protection measures, unavailability of disability-specific indicators on access to and benefit from land makes it difficult to establish the extent to which the initiative has benefitted persons with disabilities. In addition, anecdotal evidence points to inequalities in the distribution of land and to a general lack of awareness on legislation and policies that govern land management by most people at village/community level.

Strategic Goal

Persons with disabilities are able to earn income and to access social protection services, contribute to family incomes and national economic growth and lead dignified lives.

Medium term expected outcomes

The medium term expected outcomes include:

• Increased gainful and decent employment for persons with disabilities;

• Improved and disaggregated labour statistics;

• Improved access to land and food security for persons with disabilities;

• Increased number of persons with disabilities accessing social protection services;

• Increased access to microfinance services; and

• Increases access to financial services i.e. access to bank documents.

Strategies

The key strategies include;

• Promoting equity in selection, training and employment processes and procedures for persons with disabilities.

• Reducing all forms of discrimination in the labour market including removing barriers to access to financial resources and social protection arrangements.

• Establishing an effective and efficient labour market information system (LMIS).

• Promoting occupational safety and health in workplaces.

• Promoting access to land, land tenure and use by persons with disabilities.


• Focusing on diverse needs and interests of persons with disabilities to ensure appropriate placement in skills development.

• Increasing vocational training centres to train people with disabilities according to their interest and diversity of disability.

• Promoting access to social safety nets by persons with disabilities.

• Promoting entrepreneurship and involvement of women with disabilities in business groups.

• Improving access to credit facilities for entrepreneurship among youth with disabilities.

5.2.4 Priority area 4: empowerment

Empowerment as an ultimate objective of disability-inclusive development and poverty reduction programmes are prioritised in a number of instruments at international and local level. It is based on principles of equality of the human race before the law, non-discrimination and freedom of opinion and expression (Articles 7, 19 of UDHR; Article 21, 5, 12 of UN CRPD, Section 20 (1) of the Republic of Malawi Constitution). Another key principle of empowerment for persons with disabilities is equal participation in public life through election and appointment into public offices. It also includes exercising their right to vote and to be represented by elected persons (Article 29 of the UN CRPD, Sections 13 g (iii) of the Constitution of the Republic of Malawi, section 16, 17 of the Disability Act of 2012). Lastly, GoM through MGDS II identified a number of interventions to promote empowerment of persons with disabilities. These are captured under devolution of power to local communities in Sub-theme 5 (Rural Development) of Theme 1 (Sustainable Economic Growth). The MGDS III recognises the empowerment of persons with disabilities as one the cross-cutting areas in the implementation of the strategy during its lifetime

From the perspective of persons with disabilities, empowerment can be defined at the individual level through increased participation and improved livelihoods. At an individual level, persons with disabilities increasingly participate in decisions that affect their lives and as a result are able to access existing services and to utilise opportunities. On the other hand, at the group level, empowerment refers to the ability of persons with disabilities to mobilise and organise themselves and demand a life of dignity in an inclusive environment. At both levels, empowered persons with disabilities or their respective DPOs and self-help groups, are aware of their unfavourable situation and recognise the need to take necessary measures to change their status quo (WHO, 2010: CBR Guidelines, Empowerment Component). Persons with disabilities that have been empowered are recognised and respected as equal citizens who can contribute to development at all levels. Empowerment can, however, not be considered holistic when it leaves out a certain proportion of people within the group. Our society has assumed different identities and traits to men and boys, and women and girls. The status is worse among females as compared to their male counterparts. Women are subjected to multiple discrimination, first based on their gender which assigns them a lower status. Secondly, they are devalued because of how the society perceives disability and thirdly they are discriminated against by fellow women without disabilities. Lastly, women with disabilities are marginalized by fellow persons with disabilities who are males.

Most national and sectoral development plans and strategies at both national; and local Government level are not clear on how to address exclusion and discrimination of women with disabilities. In addition, lack of disability disaggregated data, poor commitment to allocate resources towards disability programmes and institutional capacity to mainstream disability remain the major challenges towards the attainment of inclusion and full participation of women with disabilities in the national development agenda.

There are also other disabilities which face more marginalization than the rest. Individuals with mental/emotional impairments experience activity limitations in social participation to a greater degree than do others with other types of impairments (National Disability Policy).


In terms of children with disabilities, they face serious discrimination based on their dependence on parents and other adults for them to access various services needed for their wellbeing.

However, The Malawi Constitution regards disability as a human rights and developmental issues. It prohibits any form of discrimination on the basis of disability and gender. It promotes access to education by all children. The constitution is also supported by Disability Act 2012 which promotes participation of persons with disabilities in public life. Malawi is also a party to other international human UNCRPD, UNCRC and CEDAW.

Achievements

Some progress has been made to promote public appointments, political participation and self-representation by persons with disabilities and through their representative organisations in development work at the community as well as national level. This has been possible through joint efforts of GoM, its international, DPOs and other civil society organisations. Following are some examples of efforts that have so far been made to empowerment and women and boys and girls with disabilities.

FEDOMA has a representation of persons with disabilities in the boards of some public institutions. It sits on the National Resource and Steering Team for CBR and on CBR planning and monitoring teams of local councils in several districts. FEDOMA also holds the position of Deputy Chair of the Steering Committee of Non-State Actors Capacity Building Programme52. It also champions the empowerment component of the CBR programme and has recently been appointed to membership of NACCODI. In addition, since the early 1990s, persons with disabilities through their DPOs have progressively been involved in and influenced processes towards disability mainstreaming with various measures of success. These include participation in development of the Vision 2020 Policy, involvement of 50% of total number of enumerators and supervisors in a study on “Living Conditions among Persons with Activity Limitations in Malawi”53, in the development of NPEOPD, the Disability Act, MGDS II, its successor and predecessor strategies and an on-going process of reviewing the Handicapped Persons Act and development of this NDMS &IP.

Further, persons with disabilities through FEDOMA lobbied with positive results for: the establishment of the Departments of Disability and Elderly Affairs and inclusive and special needs education, passing of the disability law, and acknowledgement of sign language as a national language as well as production and dissemination of HIV and AIDS awareness material in disability friendly formats. FEDOMA and its affiliates were also actively involved in the production of the Initial and second state party shadow reports for the UNCRPD. These, among other similar efforts, have led to improvements in awareness and subsequent visibility of disability as a cross-cutting human right and development issue.

Challenges

Notwithstanding progress attained so far, self-representation by persons with disabilities or through their representative organisations has not translated into significant improvements in their livelihoods. Due to non-prioritization of disability issue in MGDS and MGDS II, mainstreaming of disability in sectoral policies as well as programmes and services has remained weak; policy and legal frameworks of most institutions in the public sector (save for MACOHA, Ministry of Education, Ministry of health, TEVETA and MARDEF) have not localised relevant Republican Constitutional provisions and provisions of the Malawi Disability Act 2012, NPEOPWD and UN CRPD – resulting in inadequate institutional arrangement for securing mainstreaming of disability in policy development and programming. Challenges of self-representation may also be attributed to inadequate capacity both technical and financial within DPOs to

52 The Government of Malawi with assistance from the European Union is implementing the Non-State Actors (NSA) Capacity Building Program. The overall objective of the project is to make NSA’s more responsive to the socio-economic development needs of the Malawians. It is hoped that this will among other things, offer a platform for strengthening the institutional capacity of NSA to provide effective and improved service delivery to communities. A Program Management Unit (PMU) which reports to the National Authorizing Officer (NAO) has been established and entrusted with the task of managing the program. FEDOMA is a member of the Program Steering Committee and is the Deputy Chair, while the Chair is the National Authorizing Officer (NAO),53 Eide and Loeb, 2004


establish more branches especially in the central and northern regions of the country, raise awareness among persons with disabilities on their civil and political rights and responsibilities as well as to create a cadre of persons with disabilities who can undertake policy as well as budget analysis/monitoring to readily avail information for lobbying GoM to undertake measures to address identified gaps. Further, Lack of understanding of key disability concepts, Government’s development agenda, national policies, legislation, programmes and the role they can play to influence positive change by some in the leadership of DPOs has contributed to inadequate technical capacity to more effectively petition, persuade and negotiate for equal and equitable opportunities and access to services and facilities.

Lastly, albeit tangible work is being done to build leadership capacity with support from development partners, such initiatives have not always been carried out in a coordinated and comprehensive manner54

Strategic Goal

The goal is to involve persons with disabilities, their families and their representative organisations in decision-making processes especially on issues that directly affect their lives.



1. Improved participation in disability inclusive policy and programme development by persons with disabilities;

2. Empowered DPO branches at district and community level;

3. Disability responsive policies, programmes and services at all levels;

4. Increased visibility of men, women, girls and boys with disabilities in all aspects of life;

5. Increased participation of women, men, girls and boys with disabilities in socio-economic development activities; and

6. Negative Myths and harmful cultural practices against persons with disabilities are eradicated.

Strategies

the key strategies include:

• Strengthening participation and representation of men, women, boys and girls with disabilities at all levels of decision making and development.

• Mobilising resources for empowerment programmes for persons with disabilities.

• Promoting provision of information in accessible formats to persons with disabilities.

• Strengthen the capacity of DPOs and self-help groups (SHGs) in self-advocacy.

• Mobilising communities for inclusive development.

• Increasing the visibility of men, women, boys and girls with disabilities in all aspects of life.

• Improving knowledge and skills in social economic development activities.

• Improving knowledge to address attitudes and harmful practices affecting men, women, boys and girls with disabilities.

54 Msowoya, 2007.


5.2.5 Priority area 5: Social inclusion

One of the general principles outlined in Article 3 of the UN CRPD is full and effective participation and inclusion in society. When persons with disabilities actively participate in society and their voice is heard, all the community benefits from it and brings about positive change. The basis for redressing the situation of persons with disabilities in the country lies in the Republican Constitution which upholds the values of human dignity, freedom and social justice. Over the past few years, some Government policies and laws have reflected the need to promote the rights of persons with disabilities. However, despite this positive development there still remains systemic inequalities and unfair discrimination deeply embedded in our social structures, practices, attitudes and environments.

Social development is a major pillar for improving the well-being of Malawians as it contributes to the reduction of poverty and plays a key role in raising the economic productivity of the country. Disability is believed to be covered under this theme despite lacking clear strategies and indicators. The life of persons with disabilities is not complete if their social life is not taken into consideration within the communities. The Disability Act 2012 ensures legal protection for persons with disabilities.

The importance of social issues such as participation in family and community life, social and cultural activities, recreation, leisure and sport, and access to justice as important components of being a part of one’s community cannot be overemphasised. Unfortunately, persons with disabilities are very often denied the right to participate in a wide range of cultural, recreation, sporting and leisure opportunities that the society takes for granted. Article 30 of the UN CRPD promotes the right of persons with disabilities to participate in cultural life, recreation, leisure and sport. The right to participate in cultural activities is closely related to the right to access information; if information on cultural events is not provided in accessible formats, then one is effectively denied participation in that event. Increasingly, sport and cultural programming are seen as an important tool for peacebuilding, social mobilization, and the support of public health initiatives, such as HIV/AIDS education or polio immunization campaigns. The exclusion of persons with disabilities from such activities impacts their rights to social and political participation, as well as health and education. These examples demonstrate how human rights are indivisible, interdependent, and interconnected.

In order to be fully included in society, persons with disabilities need access to justice. There is a strong link between access to justice and the enjoyment of other human rights. Achievements in this area include: directive by the Chief Justice that all cases relating to persons with albinism be handled by professional magistrates; designation of a Special Counsel on crime against persons with albinism within the Ministry of Justice; development of a handbook containing provisions for sentencing cases involving persons with albinism and lastly review of the Penal Code and Anatomy Act to provide for stiffer punishments and make provision for crimes involving trading of bones and grave robbery among others. The cited progress notwithstanding, persons with disabilities are often denied fair and equal treatment before the judicial system. The barriers to access justice limit the ability of persons with disabilities to use the justice system as well as to their ability to contribute to the administration of justice. The justice system in most cases fails to accommodate physical, communication and other disability-related needs of persons with disabilities. Article 13 of the UN CRPD guarantees the right of persons with disabilities to:

• Effective access to justice on an equal basis with others,

• Effective access to justice by persons with disabilities at all phases of the administration of justice, and

• Being both direct and indirect participants, including being witnesses.


The Constitution of the Republic of Malawi, in section 41(1), states that every person shall have a right to recognition as a person before the law.55 The centrality of this constitutional enunciation is reflected in the Disability Act 2012. Further, section 20 (1) of the Constitution prohibits discrimination of persons in any form including disability. Essentially’ therefore, Malawi has an ideal legal framework adequate for ensuring access to justice for persons with disabilities.

Exclusion from family and community life and the lack of access to justice leads persons with disabilities to fall further into chronic poverty with little opportunity of breaking out of the cycle. Removing barriers and enabling persons with disabilities to participate in society could help to reduce poverty in the families and the whole community. Conversely, without their inclusion, sustainable poverty reduction for the whole community may not be achieved. It is important to note that persons with disabilities have a right to be included in all social and cultural aspects of life. In order to achieve the right to inclusion, persons with disabilities need to live in an environment in which they are respected and regarded as equals to their non-disabled counterparts.

AchievementsMalawi has included some Constitutional provisions that specifically mention persons with disabilities under the Bill of Rights and Fundamental Principles of National policy. In addition, the National Sports Policy makes provisions for the inclusion of persons with disabilities in all sporting activities and the responsible line Ministry provides financial support to the Malawi Paralympic Association. The establishment of the Malawi Paralympics Association and Special Olympics is another positive development aimed at improving the participation of persons with disabilities in sporting activities.

Further, there is improved visibility and participation of persons with disabilities in mainstream activities in the districts where there is CBR programme. CBR has helped to increase awareness about disability, challenge negative family and community attitudes, and prevented and addressed violence and abuse against persons with disabilities. Lastly, Government provides justice services to facilitate effective and efficient administration of justice for all persons. Such provisions are enhanced in creating a strong justice system that safeguards the interest of the citizenry and promoting rule of law as a means of achieving sustainable economic growth. There have been several efforts in ensuring the provision of justice services to all Malawians. However, there are still serious challenges facing marginalised segments in accessing justice in the country.

ChallengesA number of interrelated barriers limit the full participation of persons with disabilities in cultural life, recreation, leisure and sport. These include:

• access barriers (lack of equitable access to opportunities, information, buildings, transport and services),

• negative attitudes (oppressive cultural practices, prejudice and ignorance which result in negative discrimination and or a,

• lack of reasonable accommodation to enable persons with disabilities access services),

• lack of knowledge and experience about how to include children with disabilities in sport and recreation and how to develop adaptive physical education and inclusive playgrounds in schools,

• inadequate funding,

• lack of trained coaches in various sporting disciplines, and

• Inaccessible sports facilities and expensive sporting equipment.

55 Constitution of the Republic of Malawi


The Living Conditions among People with Activity Limitations revealed that persons with disabilities are trapped in a vicious cycle of lower economic, education and health status. These barriers coupled with the fact that the persons with disabilities do not, in most cases, make own choices and are not part of the decision-making processes militates against their effective participation in society.

According to the 2010 Malawi Justice Sector Baseline Survey, very few people in Malawi use the justice procedures. The survey showed that about 17 percent used investigation or prosecution procedures while 20 percent used informal justice system.56 This underlies the limited awareness among the people about the range of justice procedures available to them. In addition, very few people understand the procedures and languages used in individual processes in the justice system. This is a cause for concern because it is a huge potential for the injustice especially for persons with disabilities. In terms of affordability, the results of the study demonstrate huge usage of the alternative dispute resolution mechanisms with 82 percent of Malawians using informal means rather than the formal mechanisms.57 Further, the results show that affordability of legal representation is a major constraint to accessing the formal justice system as reflected in the 53 percent of people that indicated that services of a lawyer as costly.58 The vast majority of Malawians (86 percent) most of whom live in dire poverty know about the informal justice system. The majority of persons with disability in the country live in poverty such that they face problems to access formal justice. The results further show that there are very high levels of use of the informal justice system (84 percent). It is important to note that because of entrenched social exclusion in the communities, most persons with disabilities are prone not to benefit even from the informal justice delivery services. Other challenges in accessing justice include physical barriers to Police stations, courthouses, jails and prisons, lack of accessible information about how the justice system works and lack of training for Police and judicial officers to understand specific needs of persons with disabilities, among others. Generally, the justice system in Malawi is not inclusive in respect to persons with disabilities. Many law enforcement officers such as those in the Malawi Police Service, the judiciary and the Malawi Prisons Service do not have specialized skills or training to enable them to support persons with disabilities in accessing justice. For instance, persons with hearing impairments and the deaf-blind, in particular, have problems accessing justice as either offenders, complainants or witnesses since the court facilities do not have sign language interpreters. This is due to unavailability of staff trained in sign language at the courts and in the police formations. This is a clear violation of the fundamental right to access to justice. In addition, persons with intellectual disabilities, when in conflict with the law, are often regarded of unsound mind such that prejudice overrides rational consideration of situations by law enforcers thereby denying those with intellectual impairments access to justice. Similarly, little effort has been made to speed up prosecution and or review of cases in relation to abductions, killing and exhumation of bodies of persons with albinism.

Strategic Goal(s)

• Promote full and active participation of persons with disabilities in family and community life,

• Promote full and active participation of persons with disabilities in social, cultural, recreation and sporting activities, and

• Promote access to justice.


In the medium term, it is expected that there will be:

• Increased number of persons with disabilities participating in family and community, social and cultural activities.

5.2.6 Priority area 6. Cross-cutting issues: Gender; accessibility; research; Hiv and aiDS; Children and Youth with Disabilities, Climate Change and Disaster risk Management

Gender, Research, HIV and AIDS, children and youth, climate change and disaster risk management are among the critical issues that cut across the development spectrum and are therefore crucial to the process of disability mainstreaming. This thematic area focuses on these issues in detail.


Strategic Goal

The goal is to enhance disability mainstreaming in crosscutting issues for an inclusive society.

5.2.6.1 Hiv and aiDSMalawi has been severely affected by the spread of HIV and AIDS. The pandemic has, among others, affected the quality of human capital, increased the burden on the health service delivery system, and ultimately compromised on national development.

The policy and legal environment for Malawi are generally conducive in terms of the national response to HIV and AIDS. With support from the National AIDS Commission (NAC), various disability organizations in Malawi are implementing HIV and AIDS programmes for persons with disabilities. For instance, MACOHA, FEDOMA, MUB, MANAD and Montfort College of Special Needs Education collaborated to undertake a project on HIV and AIDS Prevention and Impact Mitigation to ensure that awareness material and other messages on prevention and care are accessible to persons with visual impairments, those that are hard of hearing and persons with intellectual challenges. Through the project, tangible effort has been made to reach out to some people with disabilities in 12 of the 28 districts in the country. In addition, MACOHA with funding from the Ministry of Finance provides nutritional supplements albeit to a limited number of persons that have been diagnosed with AIDS. However, a number of constraints still pose a challenge to the National HIV and AIDS Response in Malawi. Such constraints include among others, sustainable financing; stigma, discrimination and the marginalization of vulnerable groups such as persons with disabilities people living with HIV and AIDS and limited access to quality HIV and AIDS services.

Among persons with disabilities, the HIV and AIDS impact has been devastating. Studies on the subject59 have shown that persons with disabilities face a number of challenges to access health services let alone HIV and AIDS services including: HIV and AIDS information not being in accessible formats, attitudinal challenges especially among health workers, mobility challenges due to long distances to most health facilities as well as inadequate mainstreaming of disability in the national HIV and AIDS response.

Medium term expected outcomes: The medium term expected outcomes are:

• Reduced vulnerability to HIV and AIDS among persons with disabilities;

• Improved quality of lives of persons with disabilities living with HIV;

Strategies: the key strategies are:

• Promoting equal access to HIV and AIDS services; and

• Promoting safer sexual and reproductive health practices among persons with disabilities;

5.2.6.2 Children and Youth with Disabilities in Development

Younger than 18 years person comprises 54 percent of the total population of the country whereas those aged between 10 and 29 years comprise 40 percent60. With such a young population, dependence ratio in the country is high. This has resulted in a heavy economic burden on the working population and puts pressure on the provision of basic needs and social services. The country’s young population is characterized by high incidences of poverty, violence, HIV and AIDS, malnutrition, abuse, poor health, high illiteracy rates and psychological disorders.

59 Hancok, 2009; Munthali, Mvula and Ali, 200460 NSO, 2010


Further, the youth constitute a growing labour force of the country and failure to respond to their needs impedes on efforts to address poverty in the country. Investing in the current young generation will, therefore, contribute to improving productivity, reducing health costs and enhancing social capital.

Since children and youth with disabilities are more vulnerable and less privileged, it is paramount that Government should provide special interventions that will equalize their opportunities.

Medium term expected outcomes: Improved and expanded delivery of services to children and youth with disabilities.

Strategies: Promoting mainstreaming of issues of children and youth with disabilities in sectoral policies and strategies.

5.2.6.3 accessibility

Accessibility means the designing of products, programmes, the environment and services to be used by all persons to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation and specialized design61.

The exclusion of persons with disabilities from accessing the physical environment and social services limits their opportunities thereby making them even more vulnerable and persistently poor in society.

There are national and international instruments that provide for the right to accessibility for all and specifically for persons with disabilities. For instance, Article 9 of the UN CRPD stipulates that persons with disabilities are to be enabled to live independently and participate in all aspects of life. The Article calls on States Parties to devise measures to enable persons with disabilities to access the physical environment, transportation, information and communication including Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on an equal basis with others.

Despite having the policy and legislative environment conducive for uplifting the welfare of the disability community in Malawi, persons with disabilities still face challenges in accessing public transport, health facilities, schools, offices, shops and places of worship. For instance, most of the vehicles do not have disability friendly facilities as such persons that use wheelchairs are forced to pay for carriage of the device. Studies62have shown that persons with disabilities also face challenges to access information, services, and the assistance they require. Similarly, meeting the needs of persons with disabilities in national activities such as management of elections and implementation of social support programmes such as the Farm Input Subsidy Programme (FISP) remains a challenge.

Medium term expected outcomes: The medium term expected outcomes include:

• Increased access to information and communication, and public infrastructure by persons with disabilities.

• Increased knowledge among persons with disabilities about information on different national issues.

Strategies: • Developing and enforcing national accessibility standards;

• Promoting access to infrastructure and transport; and

• Promoting access to information and communication.

5.2.6.4 Gender

The Constitution of the Republic of Malawi recognizes gender equality as a fundamental human rights issue and one of the means for promoting the welfare and development of the people of Malawi. Gender equality is enunciated in various regional and international human rights instruments to which Malawi is a signatory. The Millennium Development Goals 3 (Promoting Gender Equality and Empowering Women) and 5 (Improving Maternal Health) underscores the significance of gender parity if States parties are to achieve meaningful sustainable development. However, many persons with disabilities in Malawi face discrimination based on both their gender and disability.

Some of the regional and international human rights instruments ratified by the country on gender include the SADC Protocol on Gender and Development, the 2003 African Union’s Solemn Declaration on Gender Equality in Africa, the 1995 Beijing Plan of Action and CEDAW. Realizing that gender equality and equity are at the core of fulfilling the obligations on women ’s rights Malawi has domesticated these instruments through the National Gender Policy which outlines measures for mainstreaming issues to do with women and men, girls and boys for sustainable and equitable development. Malawi also enacted the Prevention of Domestic Violence Act (2006) and the Gender Equality Act (2013). Gender Equality was also highlighted as an important sub-theme in MGDS and MGDS II. Despite the existence of the cited gender policies and laws, empirical evidence shows that implementation of MGDS II is lagging behind on gender issues. In addition, there has been very limited effort to focus on mainstreaming gender from a disability perspective.63



• Gender equality, influence, empowerment, dignity and opportunities for men, women, boys and girls with disabilities in all spheres of the society.

• Disability responsive gender policies and programmes at the district and national levels.

• Reduced sexual and gender based violence against persons with disabilities.

Strategies

The key strategies are:

• Building capacity of DPOs to mainstream gender in their respective programmes.

• Strengthening participation of men, women, boys and girls with disabilities at both community and national levels.

• Mainstreaming disability and gender perspective in the process of law review and policy and programme assessments.

• Protecting persons with disabilities from any form of sexual abuse and gender based violence.

5.2.6.5 research

The significance of research in Malawi’s development process cannot be overemphasized. To facilitate the realization of inclusive development especially for persons with disability, action, baseline, investigative and other forms of studies in disability are necessary. It is widely agreed that without comprehensive data on disability, Malawi is unlikely to achieve the SDGs through the MGDS. The National Policy on the Equalization of Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities in Malawi acknowledges the significant role of disability research in inclusive development. Section 26 of the Disability Act of 2012, also obligates the Government of Malawi to recognize the importance of research in improving the quality of life of persons with disabilities.

63 National Gender Policy (2000), revised 2011


There is a dearth of disability data to soundly influence development planning. It is also important to highlight that the few research studies on disability and development in Malawi have been led either by international NGOs or local NGOs/DPOs. Persons with disabilities have always been involved in a limited number of disability studies64 but largely not as champions of research or as researchers but as enumerates, research assistants and research supervisors.

Medium term outcomesThe medium term expected outcomes include:

• Strengthened and improved disability-related research in Malawi;

• Increased participation of persons with disabilities in carrying out disability-related research; and

• Comprehensive disability data generated.

Strategies

The key strategies are:

• Facilitating availability of financial and technical assistance to key stakeholders, universities and other research institutions to conduct disability related-research.

• Promoting participation of persons with disabilities in research from planning/designing, implementation and dissemination.

• Promoting inclusion of gender-disaggregated disability data collection in research, and national census, household surveys and other relevant studies.

5.2.6.6 Climate Change and Disaster risk Management

Malawi faces a number of weather and climate-related hazards in both rural and urban areas. These include floods, droughts, heavy storms, prolonged dry spells, and earthquakes. The impacts and losses caused by these events are high. At the same time, there is insufficient human and technical capacity to prepare for and recover from these natural occurrences partly due to inadequate planning and resource constraints. The impact of flooding, prolonged dry spells, heavy storms and droughts on agricultural livelihoods is compounded by widespread deforestation, poverty and weak enforcement of policies.65 The nature and pattern of weather-related hazards in Malawi is changing as a result of climate change; becoming more frequent and less predictable, with expected rise in intensity.66

Climate change can result in grave consequences for human well-being, development, and security through increased exposure to severe weather conditions such as floods and droughts which in turn directly aggravate the risks of disease and poor health, inadequate drinking water and food scarcity, loss of livelihoods, migration, violence, and conflict. In such situations, vulnerable and marginalized groups including the poorest segments face a disproportionate impact of climate change and which in turn comprises the effectiveness and success of development and poverty reduction efforts.

Malawi has a National Climate Change Management Policy (2016) that provides guidance on the implementation of climate change management programmes and adaptation to its impacts in the country. The country developed a National Adaptation Programmes of Action (NAPA) in order to respond to urgent and immediate needs for adapting to the adverse impacts of climate change among rural communities in vulnerable areas of the country. A Disaster Risk Management (DRM) Policy has been developed to address natural disasters. In addition, the Department of Disaster Management Affairs (DoDMA) has formulated

64 Some of the key studies in which persons with disabilities have been involved include: University College London (On-going). Development of a tool kit for evaluation of CBR: Case studies from Malawi and Uganda; NAD (2010). A study on empowerment from the perspective of persons with disabilities in Malawi: Implications for the empowerment component of CBR; Eide and Loeb (2004). The situation of persons with activity limitations in Malawi65 Ziervogel, G. et al (2008), Climate Change Adaptation in Southern Africa: Addressing the needs of vulnerable communities66 National Disaster Risk Management Communication Strategy for Malawi, 2013


and adopted a Disaster Contingency Plan (DCP) which aims at minimizing damage to property and loss of life. The MGDS II (2011-2016) also included disaster risk management under the theme of Social Support and Disaster Risk Management. All these have been enforceable through the Disaster Preparedness and Relief Act of 1991. However, very insufficient measures were undertaken both through DCP and MGDS II to focus on specific needs of persons with disabilities.

Persons with disabilities constitute a proportion of the population, which is disproportionately more affected in disaster, emergency, and conflict situations, due to inaccessible evacuation, response, and recovery efforts and exclusion of disability issues in planning and preparedness. In this regard, the vulnerability of persons with disabilities, their families and communities to the impacts of climate change is of growing significance.

Medium-term outcomes


• Established disability-inclusive legal and policy framework for climate change and disaster risk management and preparedness.

• Disability inclusive climate change and disaster risk management and preparedness programmes at both local and national levels.

• Capacitated societies to support persons with disabilities to effectively deal with the impact of climate change.

• Improved coordination of disability responsive climate change and disaster risk management efforts.

Strategies

Key strategies include:

• Involving of persons with disabilities at every phase of climate change and disaster risk reduction initiatives.

• Raising awareness on the impact of climate change on persons with disabilities.

• Conducting disability risk assessments during disaster preparedness and adaptation activities.

• Developing disability friendly early warning systems using multi-modal warning systems.

• Creating linkages between Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) and disaster risk and climate change management programmes and initiatives.

• Carrying out research on climate change, disasters and disability.

• Including disability in disaster contingency plans and adaptation planning processes.

• Lobbying for a disability responsive climate change and disaster management legislation.

6.1 Implementation Modalities

The NDMS&IP is developed to allow all stakeholders to participate in disability inclusive development. Towards this end, implementation of the NDMS&IP will require active involvement of persons with disabilities and their families, duty bearers including the Three Arms of Government, namely, the Executive, Legislature, and Judiciary. Implementation arrangements will also involve the Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and Faith-Based Organizations (FBOs), the private sector and the general public. Successful implementation of the strategy calls for political will and commitment in providing resources, directions and monitoring of the implementation process. It is expected that all stakeholders including development partners will incorporate disability specific issues and respective outcomes in their programming, implementation; monitoring, evaluation, reporting, resource mobilisation and financing routines (Refer to Annex 1 for Implementation Matrix).

6.2 Role of key stakeholders in the implementation of the National Disability Mainstreaming Strategy

6.2.1 Government: The main responsibility of Government shall be to provide public goods and services as well as a regulatory framework. These include measures for accessing transport facilities and infrastructure, education, health and other social services by persons with disabilities. Government shall safeguard the interests of all Malawians by addressing identified challenges to inclusive development through a review of relevant policy, legal and regulatory frameworks.

6.2.2 executive The Executive arm of Government will initiate policies and legislation in line with: Constitutional provisions, provisions of the Disability Act of 2012, of the UN CRPD and SDGs, review of relevant national policies and legislation to ensure that they are harmonised and promote equalisation of opportunities for persons with disabilities and through monitoring implementation of the NDMS&IP. The Executive through an Inter-ministerial Committee on Disability Issues shall mobilise and ring-fence financial resources for implementation of designated disability programmes and services as specified in the implementation Matrix of NDMS&IP (Annex 2) and shall submit periodic reports on disabilities to its citizenry and state party reports to the UN Committee of the UN CRPD. Lastly, the Executive shall mandate the line Ministry responsible for disability or its agency to receive biannual and annual reports on measures undertaken by each of the entities specified in section 6.2.3 to 6.2.13 of this document.

6.2.3 JudiciaryThe Judiciary will ensure that reasonable accommodation is provided for in the enforcement of laws. For instance, the judiciary will ensure that physical infrastructure and procedures are disability-friendly and accessible (e.g. that courtroom, holding cells), that designated court officials are knowledgeable in sign language or certified sign language interpreters are provided when there is need, that judicial staff is oriented in disability rights and that where necessary personal assistance is availed. The judiciary will also ensure that there is equality and non-discrimination in accessing justice through the courts.


6.2.4 the legislatureThe legislature through the Parliamentary Committee responsible for disability issues will monitor individual ministries and departments in the implementation and administration of policies and legislation on matters of disability. It shall ensure that the national budget serves as a tool for availing resources for implementation of NDMS&IP. Parliament will also monitor specialised and other agencies whose mandate has a direct impact on promoting the rights of persons with disabilities.

6.2.5 line Ministry for DisabilityThe main responsibility of the line Ministry will be to build the capacity of sectoral ministries, departments and other institutions to effectively mainstream disability in their respective policies, programmes and services. It will also monitor implementation of the NDMS&IP in addition to providing backstopping and technical assistance to all sectors as needed. In addition, the line ministry will, in liaison with the line ministry for finance mobilise development partners to equally prioritise disability issues in bilateral and multilateral financing arrangements in line with Article 32 of UN CRPD. Further, the line ministry for disability will champion review of policy and pieces of legislation that do not effectively promote disability as a rights and development issue. Lastly, the line ministry shall work closely with focal persons and established committees for disability mainstreaming that have been set up in all line ministries, departments and parastatals.

6.2.6 local GovernmentThe main role of the Local Government will be to ensure that disability issues are mainstreamed in all district development plans and programmes in line with the decentralisation policy. The local councils shall also ensure that resources available at the local level council are equitably mobilised for implementation of disability specific programmes and services in pursuit of the twin-track approach. In addition, local councils will develop disability specific by-laws and promote the implementation of policies and laws such as the Child Care, Protection and Justice Act, 2010 section 72 which requires local councils to maintain a register of children with disabilities. Local councils will also mainstream disability in their monitoring and evaluation frameworks and champion review of relevant sections of the Local Government Act to ensure that persons with disabilities are specified as one of the interest groups on the Council as well as to provide for voting rights for representatives of persons with disabilities on the Council.

6.2.7 non-Governmental organisations (nGos), Faith Based organisations (FBos) and Civil Society organisations (CSos)The NGOs, FBOs and CSOs will lobby to influence policy change in the public sector on matters of disability and development. They will also develop and implement measures that will promote disability as an integral component of their policy, programming and M&E frameworks and in so doing, collaborate with Government in the implementation of the NDMS&IP.

6.2.8 UmbrellaDPOandAffiliatesThe main role of the DPOs will be to lobby and advocate for inclusive development and allocation of adequate resources for the implementation of the NDMS&IP. They will complement Parliament’s role of ensuring that policies and pieces of legislation take on board the needs and aspirations of persons with disabilities. The DPOS will also task the mainstreaming institutions to account for their functions in safeguarding the interests of persons with disabilities.

6.2.9 the academiaPublic and private universities and other institutions of higher learning will champion identification of areas for disability research, design, carryout and dissemination of disability research. This will inform programming, avail reliable and comparative data, statistics and qualitative information on the situation of persons with disabilities in Malawi.


6.2.10 MediaThe role of the media will be to publicise and advocate for disability inclusive development and implementation of the NDMS&IP. The media will also assist in improving the visibility of persons with disabilities in society through awareness raising.

6.2.11 Private SectorThe role of the private sector will be to equitably invest in both economic and social empowerment of persons with disabilities including through Private Public Partnerships (PPP) to promote wealth creation and economic independence by persons with disabilities. The scope of the private sector participation will be widened to involve them in the provision of other public goods and services as well as oversight and accountability functions to safeguard the interests of Malawians.

6.2.12 Donors, Development and Co-operating PartnersIn line with Article 32 of the UNCRPD, the role of development partners shall be to support GoM disability mainstreaming efforts with financial and technical resources for implementation of interventions outlined in the NDMS&IP within the framework of the Malawi Growth and Development Strategy.

6.2.13 the General Public The role of the public will be to ensure the full and equal participation of persons with disabilities in the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of all development processes. In addition, the public will ensure smooth implementation of development activities through participatory planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of various development initiatives. It also will equally contribute in kind towards some development efforts that target persons with disabilities in their respective communities.

6.2.14 Parastatals Parastatals will support the implementation of the NDMS&IP through the adoption and implementation of sector-specific disability mainstreaming strategies and interventions in line with national policies and legislation on disability. Parastatals will also establish disability focal points and disability mainstreaming committees to coordinate implementation of disability issues in their respective institutions. The parastatals will also collaborate with central and local Government in implementing the NDMS&IP and other policies on disability.

6.3 Monitoring and Evaluation

To realise the goals of NDMS&IP, there will be an effective monitoring and evaluation system in place. It is expected that the monitoring and evaluation process of the NDMS&IP will provide essential data and insights for prioritization of interventions and review of the strategy. The monitoring and evaluation process will further ensure efficient and effective adherence and utilization of resources allocated for implementation of NDMS&IP.

To enable quality reporting, key indicators, baseline and targets have been identified for each sector to inform the evaluation of sectoral performance. Sectors will be expected to align their respective indicators to the identified key indicators. The monitoring and evaluation framework in Annex 2 provides identified indicators that will monitor the progress of disability mainstreaming in sectoral policies, plans and programmes against the baseline. In addition, the reporting routine will involve development of a checklist on standards for effective mainstreaming of disability across sectors and submission of related reports to international bodies as may be required.


6.4 National Monitoring and Evaluation Framework

The National Monitoring and Evaluation framework has taken on board several players in the implementation of disability mainstreaming in the development of the country. The Minister responsible for disability affairs shall receive reports from his/her principal secretary for subsequent discussion at Cabinet level or with individual ministries. Likewise, cabinet ministers will be expected to receive reports from their respective principal secretaries on relevant sectoral issues discussed at NACCODI for action within their ministries.

The Chief Secretary to Government will chair NACCODI and the Principal Secretary for the line ministry for disability will serve as secretary to the Committee. Respective principal secretaries will present reports on disability mainstreaming from line ministries and departments. From these reports, NACCODI will advise Government on policy, legislative and other technical issues to promote disability mainstreaming in the public, parastatals, CSO and FBO sectors. Agenda and discussions at NACCODI will be based on reports from the Technical Working Group on Disability Mainstreaming (TWGDM)

The Director of Disability Affairs in the line ministry for disability will chair the TWGDM. Members of TWGDM will be drawn from directors and technical experts from all line ministries, departments and parastatal organizations, FEDOMA and its affiliates, representatives of CSOs and FBOs and development partners. The TWGDM will review reports on disability mainstreaming and make recommendations to NACCODI for policy direction, resource mobilization and allocation.

Below the TWGDM will be Sector Working Groups on Disability Mainstreaming (SWGDM) in the sectors of education, health, livelihoods, social inclusion and empowerment. Disabled Peoples Organisations (DPOs) will comprise the membership of each of the sectors. The role of each SWGDM will be to coordinate planning, resource mobilization, implementation, monitoring and evaluation activities in each sector.

At the district level, District Commissioners will chair District Disability Mainstreaming, Monitoring and Evaluation Committee (DDMMEC) with subcommittees on education, health, livelihoods, social inclusion and empowerment.

For effective M&E activities, capacity building will be an integral part of this framework

6.5 FinancingandBudgetAllocation

The NDMS&IP will be financed through various sources of revenue. Primarily, the strategy will be funded from the national budget approved by Parliament each year. Such funding will be reflected in allocations to various sectoral ministries, departments and parastatals. Funding will also be mobilised from the Disability Trust Fund established under section 28 and section 29 of the Disability Act of 2012. It is also expected that the private sector, local and international NGOs and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) will be central to financing implementation of the strategy through mainstreaming of disability issues, networking and partnerships. At the international level, funding will be sought from bilateral and multilateral development partners in line with Article 32 of the UNCRPD (Refer to Annex 3 for budget estimates per intervention area)

6.6 Sustainability Strategy

Mainstreaming disability is a continuous process requiring a sustainability strategy to ensure continuity of the programme. This can only be done if disability becomes an integral component of Government’s development agenda. To attain sustainability, the following structures will play a pivotal role in sustaining the programme:

6.6.1 national advisory and Coordinating Committee on Disability issues (naCCoDi).This is a forum for principal secretaries from line ministries. NACCODI is provided for under section 5(2) of the Disability Act of 2012. Its key mandate is to:

1. Provide a forum for all key stakeholders on disability issues to receive, discuss and review reports from Government ministries and departments and other relevant stakeholders on disability mainstreaming;

2. Make recommendations to Government on best practices regarding the formulation of policies, legislation, programmes, mobilization and allocation of resources with respect to disability; and

3. Oversee the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of disability-related programmes.

6.6.2 technical working Group on Disability Mainstreaming (refer to Section 6.4 above)

6.6.3 Sector working Groups on Disability Mainstreaming (refer to Section 6.4 above)

6.6.4 District Disability Mainstreaming, Monitoring and evaluation Committee (refer to Section 6.4 above)

In line with the concept of decentralization, this will be the most crucial committee. It will be responsible for developing plans, programmes, implementation modalities, monitoring and evaluation as well as resource mobilization and allocation to ensure disability is mainstreamed at Local Government level.

The committees will have subcommittees for each sector. Work of this Committee will be enforced by provisions of the Local Government Act. The Act provides for representation of special interest groups who may include persons with disability at the council level. Such representation at the community level is very vital in ensuring sustainability of programmes. This representation shall also be visible at area and village development committee level.
