National Union of Disabled Persons of Uganda (NUDIPU), is implementing phase two of the Gender and Disability in Practice project (GADIP 2) in the districts of Nakapiripiriti and Kapchorwa.

During an inception meeting in Nakapiripiriti District the Chief Executive Officer Ms Esther Kyozira informed the participants that the main objective for this project is to address issues of Gender-based Violence among women with disabilities, inclusive education for children with disabilities and accessing Sexual Reproductive health services for girls and women with disabilities.

This is a five-year project with support from the Australian Development Cooperation. The first phase of the project was implemented in Kotido and Moroto districts hence the need to spread to other districts among which Nakapiripiriti was selected.

The Implementation will be done in six sub-counties hence and this calls for commitment from all stakeholders to ensure the project is a success.
