The Zambia Agency for Persons with Disabilities (ZAPD), with support from the Zambia National Association of Persons with Physical Disabilities (ZNAPD), is hosting an important Accessibility Workshop at the Chongwe Council Lodge.
This workshop has brought together key partners such as:
• Local Government Authorities
• Ministry of Infrastructure, Housing & Urban Development
• National Council for Construction
• Disability-sector organisations including ZAFOD
The goal is simple but powerful: to strengthen capacity, promote universal design, and ensure accessibility becomes a standard requirement in all infrastructure projects across Zambia.
During an accessibility inspection at the District Administration Block, Chongwe District Commissioner Dr. Evans Lupiya expressed satisfaction with the workshop’s objectives.
He further called for continued and intensified trainings to help champion accessibility and drive inclusive development in all communities.
ZAPD remains committed to shaping a Zambia where planning and infrastructure fully include persons with disabilities, ensuring equal access, opportunity, and participation for everyone.
