WE ARE ABLE!
Co-creating inclusive governance for access to basic resources that leaves no one behind
We are able! is a programme that helps people with disabilities achieve a sustainable, fully-fledged place in their community, so that they have greater food security. By 2025, through engagement with the public authorities (formal and informal powerholders), men, women and youth with disabilities and other excluded groups, through resilient and capable local Organizations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs) & Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in six fragile and conflict-affected countries, are successfully influencing laws, policies, practices and norms for IMPROVED FOOD SECURITY FOR ALL.

We focus on people with disabilities who do not have access to basic services, people who are excluded. We aim to strengthen their voices and resilience, so that they can stand up for themselves. We involve them in legislation and policy, and we work together with local organisations and Organisations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs).
To promote dialogue between people with disabilities and authorities, we work with formal and informal authorities at the national and international level.
