The National Disability Council of Namibia (NDCN) is currently in Zambia on a collaborative learning visit hosted by the Zambia Agency for Persons with Disabilities (ZAPD). This engagement marks a key step toward strengthening regional partnerships aimed at improving the welfare of Persons with Disabilities across the African continent.
The NDCN team is on the ground learning from Zambia’s experience in developing and implementing the Disability Information Management System (DIMS) — a digital platform that centralizes data to improve service delivery and coordination in the disability sector.
As part of this mission, NDCN is also engaging with the University of Zambia’s Centre for ICT (UNZA–CICT) to discuss the technical processes behind the successful rollout of DIMS.
Through this collaboration, NDCN wishes to learn how to:
Establish a centralized and secure database for Persons with Disabilities in Namibia.
Streamline the registration process and the issuance of disability cards.
Design a user-friendly platform for accessing essential services and benefits.
Foster stronger coordination among stakeholders in the disability sector.
This partnership is a shining example of how African nations can share knowledge, technology, and best practices to ensure no one is left behind.
