The African Disability Forum (ADF) is the continental membership organization of Disabled Persons’ Organizations (OPDs) in Africa. Formally established in 2014, legally registered in 2017 in Ethiopia and re-registered in 2023, ADF seeks to strengthen and unify the representative voices of Africans with disabilities, their families, and organizations.

ADF is an independent, democratic organization, where representative Organization of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs) are the members and decision-makers. It currently has 49 National Federations, 10 continental and 4 sub-regional OPDs. The organization has been implementing disability inclusive projects in various African countries.

The ADF governance structure is composed of 10-member Executive Council (with one non-voting power) and currently has three offices located in Ethiopia, Niger, and South Africa.

ADF is a full member of the International Disability Alliance (IDA) and it is recognized by the African Union Commission in a circular sent out to all member states of the African Union in 2018. More information about ADF can be found at www.africandisabilityforum.org
