The African Disability Forum is a continental organization of persons with disabilities working to promote and protect the rights of persons with disabilities across Africa. ADF supports disability rights advocacy, capacity development, policy engagement, and the meaningful participation of Organizations of Persons with Disabilities in regional, continental and global processes.
In line with the ADF Internship Policy, ADF internships are learning-oriented engagements designed to support the professional development of interns while contributing to the organization’s mandate. The internship will be implemented in accordance with the principles of inclusivity, accessibility, non-discrimination, mutual benefit, transparency, accountability and ethical conduct.
ADF is seeking to engage one intern to support the work of the Capacity Development unit, in coordination with the Communications Officer/ Advocacy and communication Director, particularly in relation to website and resource management, online and webinar training support, knowledge gathering and dissemination, and communication with the ADF movement of Organizations of Persons with Disabilities across Africa.
The purpose of this internship is to provide a structured learning opportunity for an emerging professional interested in digital communication, knowledge management and disability rights, while supporting ADF’s work in strengthening the visibility, accessibility and reach of its knowledge and communication products.
The intern will assist the Capacity Development unit, in coordination with the Communications Officer/Advocacy and Communication Director, in managing the ADF website and resource library, supporting online and webinar-based capacity-building activities, gathering and disseminating relevant knowledge products, and contributing to ADF’s communication with its members, partners and the broader disability rights movement.
