Ratify ADP Tanzania is a coalition campaign run by organisations of people with disabilities in Tanzania and Zanzibar, and supported by Sightsavers.

We’re fighting to ensure the rights of people with disabilities across Tanzania are protected by law.

In Tanzania, many people with disabilities, particularly those from rural communities or marginalised groups such as people with albinism, are denied their right to health, education and employment, because of stigma, discrimination and negative perceptions.

Ratifying the African Disability Protocol, which is a legal framework that addresses discrimination affecting people with disabilities, will be a significant first step towards promoting and protecting people’s rights in the country.
