Africa
"The African Decade of Persons with Disabilities (1999-2009) was adopted by the 35th Session of the OAU Assembly of Heads of State and Government held in Algiers, Algeria in July 1999. The 1st AU Conference of Ministers of Social Development, which convened in Windhoek, Namibia, 27-31 October 2012, extended the African Decade of Persons with Disabilities for the period 2010-2019. The goal of the African Decade of Persons with Disabilities (2010 – 2019) is the full participation, equality and empowerment of people with disabilities in Africa.
The mandate for organizing the Decade activities for the period 1999-2009 was given to the African Rehabilitation Institute (ARI), a specialized agency of the OAU, headquartered in Harare, Zimbabwe, with regional offices located in Dakar, Senegal (for West Africa) Brazzaville, Congo (for Central Africa) and Harare (for Southern Africa). ARI shared the responsibility for the planning of Decade activities with Disabled People’s Organisations, governments and other continental organisations for persons with disabilities.
The Continental Plan of Action of the African Decade of Persons with Disabilities (2010-2019) outlines eight (8) strategic thematic areas for implementation at national level, and includes priority action areas for each thematic area." [Abstract: Site editor’s information]
