To perform its activities and achieve set objectives, NUDOR has various projects to implement including that named “Promotion of anti-discrimination practices for persons with disabilities in Rwanda”.
BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT
NUDOR in partnership with Christian Blind (CBM) developed a project titled: “Promotion of anti-discrimination practices for Persons with Disabilities in Rwanda” to strengthen and expand the advocacy work and capacity building in the area of inclusion and full participation towards persons with disabilities. This project is implementing at the National level and in 5 districts namely: Kicukiro in Kigali City, Ngoma in the Eastern Province, Gisagara in the Southern Province, Nyamasheke in the Western Province and Burera in Northern Province. It is a 4 years project which started from 2019 to 2022 and it is funded by the German Government (BMZ).
This project aims to address these shortcomings by improving coordination between Persons with disabilities Organizations (DPOs), Human Rights Organizations (HROs) and Government Institutions at all levels (national and local level) with the finality of improving the general awareness and increase capacity on disability rights in Rwanda thus contributing to reduce discrimination and human rights abuse.
The project’s impact is” the rights of people with disabilities are implemented in Rwanda in accordance with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities”. The outcome of the project is: “People with disabilities actively bring their interests into national and local processes through empowered DPOs, HROs, platforms, and authorities”.
The project has 4 results outputs:
Community members, social service providers, and officials are sensitized and their capacities are strengthened in the field of human rights and the rights of people with disabilities.
Close cooperation has been established between DPOs and Rwandan government institutions in promoting the human rights of people with disabilities, inclusion, and anti-discrimination.
The capacities of DPOs and HROs are strengthened to monitor and promote the integration of international human rights instruments into national and local policy and planning.
The capacity of at least 600 persons with disabilities in the 5 target districts to claim their rights has been strengthened and they are actively working for these rights.
The direct target group of the project are

The content of a blog typically includes text, pictures, videos, animated GIFs and even scans from old physical offline diaries or journals and other hard copy documents.
The purpose of a blog is to provide helpful, valuable, informative and interesting content that helps people. Blogs enable visitors to subscribe to them so they can receive updates on a very regular basis. They are informed when new content is added or there has been some update to the social media profiles of the people with whom they interact.
To be effective, blogs should have new postings at least once or twice a week and contain fresh and original content that attracts and retains people/clients.
