TAF Africa Calls For Renewed Commitment To Disability-Inclusive Societies On The 2025 International Day Of Persons With Disabilities (IDPD)
TAF AFRICA PRESS STATEMENT 3 December 2025 | Abuja, Nigeria TAF Africa joins the global community today to commemorate the 2025 International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) under the theme “Fostering disability-inclusive societies for advancing social progress”. This year’s observance offers an important opportunity to reflect on how far we have come, and how far we must still go to ensure that persons with disabilities are not only included but empowered as equal contributors to national development. The 2025 theme is especially significant as it builds on the momentum of the Second World Summit for Social Development held in Doha from 4 – 6 November 2025, where world leaders reaffirmed their shared commitment to building a just, inclusive, peaceful, and equitable world. At the Summit, disability inclusion featured prominently as a fundamental pillar of social justice and sustainable development. For Nigeria, these global commitments must translate into accelerated action at home. As an organisation dedicated to strengthening the full participation of persons with disabilities in governance, democracy, and development, TAF Africa acknowledges the progress made. Yet, we remain deeply concerned that millions of Nigerians with disabilities still face systemic exclusion in education, healthcare, employment, public infrastructure, political participation, and digital access. In line with today’s global message, we call for: 1. Full enforcement of the Discrimination Against Persons with Disabilities (Prohibition) Act, 2018: Seven years after its passage, full compliance, especially in accessible infrastructure, public services, and protection from discrimination, remains critically low. Governments at all levels must prioritise implementation, budget allocation, and monitoring. 2. Institutionalisation of disability inclusion across all sectors: From elections to economic planning, disability inclusion cannot remain an afterthought. MDAs, the private sector, and development agencies must embed disability responsive frameworks into policies, programs, and service delivery. 3. Strengthening political participation of persons with disabilities Democracy is incomplete without the voices of all citizens. We urge the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), political parties, security agencies, and civil society to full implement disability-inclusive electoral processes in future elections 4. Investment in accessible technology, innovation, and social protection Equitable digital access, assistive devices, inclusive social protection systems, and economic empowerment initiatives are essential for social progress and long-term national development. 5. Partnership-driven solutions Achieving an inclusive society requires strong collaboration among government, civil society, organisations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs), private sector actors, the media, and international partners. We reaffirm our commitment to working with all stakeholders to drive lasting change. Today, TAF Africa celebrates the resilience, innovation, and leaders of persons with disabilities across Nigeria and the African continent. Their contributions to governance, entrepreneurship, education, the creative economy, technology, and community development continue to inspire our collective pursuit of justice and equality. As the world renews its commitment to social development following the Doha Summit, Nigeria must seize this moment to reaffirm that disability inclusion is a national priority, not optional, not symbolic, but essential. Let today be a reminder that a truly inclusive society is one where every individual, regardless of disability status, can live with dignity, exercise their rights fully, and contribute meaningfully to national progress.
