Nearly 29 million children with disabilities live in Eastern and Southern Africa. Each of them – like every child in the world – has the right to be nurtured and supported through responsive care and education, to receive adequate nutrition and social protection, and to enjoy play and leisure time. Too often, however, such rights are denied. The reasons vary: They include stigma, lack of accessible services, institutionalization and physical barriers. But the consequences are sadly consistent. When marginalized from society, these children’s chances to survive and thrive are diminished, along…
En 2015, la adopción de la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible se enmarcó en torno a la promesa de no dejar a nadie atrás. La agenda urge a comprometerse con la consecución de los 17 Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) y sus 169 metas correspondientes en beneficio de todos y cada uno de los miembros de la sociedad.

En 2015, l’adoption du Programme de développement durable à l’horizon 2030 était axée sur la promesse de ne laisser personne de côté. Cette initiative appelle à contribuer à la réalisation des 17 objectifs de développement durable, et de leurs 169 cibles, et ce, dans l’intérêt de tous les membres de la société. Elle souligne la nécessité de venir en aide en premier lieu aux personnes les plus marginalisées, un groupe dont les enfants handicapés et leur famille font inévitablement partie.
Le suivi de l’inclusion des enfants handicapés dans les efforts de développement a…

In 2015, the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was framed around the pledge of leaving no one behind. It calls for a commitment to ensure that all 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), comprising 169 targets, are achieved for the benefit of all members of society. It emphasizes reaching those furthest behind first, which inevitably includes children with disabilities and their families.
Monitoring the inclusion of children with disabilities in development efforts has long been held back by the lack of reliable and comprehensive data. Recent years, however, have…
Millions of children with disabilities around the globe continue to be left behind, despite the near-universal ratification of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the call for action embedded in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the clear mandate set by the Sustainable Development Goals. Often, this neglect is the result of limited data. When absent from official statistics, children and adults with disabilities remain politically and socially ‘invisible’, increasing their marginalization and exposure to rights violations.
Recent years have seen…
