This message comes from 6 countries in Africa, in which we are active as part of the We are Able! program. Together with people with disabilities we strengthen their call, to advocate for improved food security. ‘Nothing about us without us!’ means listening to their voice!.

Food security initiatives, organized by governments, (I)NGOs or other actors, should include persons with disabilities. We urge stakeholders to secure a fixed seat for persons with disabilities at the table in decision-making processes about their design and implementation.

Celebrating the 2023 International Day of Persons with Disability on 3 December, we advocate for inclusive food security for persons with disabilities. The vulnerable position of persons with disabilities in food crises should be recognized and acted upon.
