Our Director @sam_signsofhope joined @StarFM to discuss access to IDs for persons with disabilities. A 2013 @NASCOHZW1 study shows 20% have no IDs, excluding many from school, work & healthcare, and exposing them to economic violence. #AfricaHumanRightsDay @table_girls

Dear @Zim_Media_Com @InfoMinZW Excessive fees for accessing personal information, like nearly US$100 for a certificate, defeat the purpose of access to information laws. We ask that: - Fees be reviewed and capped, - Public bodies adopt clear policies on access to information.

1/ We really need to talk about the cost of accessing information in Zimbabwe. A whole US$85 to replace a lost/damaged O-Level certificate 😳 — plus $10 if you don’t remember your candidate number? facebook.com/share/p/1CaQ3zC… #FOIA #AccessToInformation @Zim_Media_Com

Access to Information can be defined as the right to seek, receive and impart information held by public bodies. This, self-paced, online Course on Access to Information Laws and Policies by @UNESCO explores this. share.google/ivUwo3uz6IgFVDH… Enroll Now, Thank us later. #IDUAI2025

Breaking: @WHO has approved the inclusion of broad-spectrum sunscreen in the 24th Edition of the Model List of Essential Medicines (EML) and the 10th Edition of the Model List of Essential Medicines for Children (EMLc). Congratulations to all those who were at the forefront. 👏👏

In our article 3/2025, we reflect on what the decision by WHO to include sunscreen on the Essential Medicine List means for persons with Albinism and why it is timely. linkedin.com/posts/signsofho… #SunscreenSavesLives @liberaldiplomat @mpslswzim @ncdpz @QUAPAZ1 @ParliamentZim

The only way of addressing disability digital divides 8s through inclusive designs, affordable access solutions and targeted programs and initiatives. Otherwise we continue to curtail their rights and independence. Special thanks to @KICTANet @cipesa @sam_signsofhope at #DRIF25

At #DRIF25, both our session & community talk were flagged as highly attended & buzzing. This shows how urgent and critical the digital & info rights of persons with disabilities are in the digital era we now live in. Thank you @ParadigmHQ #DigitalInclusion #DisabilityRights

FACING AID FREEZE #USAID Yesterday I was invited by @nangozimbabwe to share some suggestions on what leaders can do in the face of the aid freeze executive orders. Here are my thoughts. Wishing you more strength as you face this storm. theciviclens.org/facingaidfr…

Highlight on Digital Democracy in 2024: The persistent digital divide is deepening political inequalities and exclusion in many African countries. Only 37% of the African population uses the internet(vs 67% global average). Meanwhile, developed regions like North America and Europe exceed 90%. The digital divide worsens economic inequalities, educational disparities(lack of online learning, unequal Skill development), political exclusion, and exacerbates social inequality. Tackling the digital divide is an important issue for developing countries.
