EUROPEAN UNION AMBASSADOR VISITS THE ALBINO FOUNDATION

The European Union Ambassador, Samuela Isopi has lauded the Albino Foundation for championing the cause of Persons With Disabilities (PWDs), describing the Foundation as a worthy partner of the European Union. Speaking on her private visit to the Foundation in Abuja, Ambassador Isopi said the EU is happy and proud to partner with Albino Foundation, noting that through the foundation, the EU has been able to promote and impart values dear to the union, including ongoing political and human rights inclusivity in the country. With enduring partnership and commitment such as has been demonstrated by Albino Foundation, Isopi hinted that Union would not hesitate to expand its engagement with the disability community to include support in education, healthcare, and empowerment.   In her words, “You know that human rights inclusivity is something which is very much part of the DNA of the European Union, this is very much of our union, our values on which the European Union is founded. And this is why the promotion of these values is also something which is always at the centre of what we do, in our partner countries, or what we do with our partner countries, is always something that is the centre of our actions, of our policies, and of our cooperation with our partner countries. and institutions. “And we are very happy and also very lucky here in Nigeria, to have the Albino Foundation but also all of you as one of our partners or our allies in this journey. In this long journey. So, I have to say thank you because our role is actually to support you. So please, I really want to thank you and congratulate you. There had been a foundation, the commission and all of you for the impressive achievements that have been made possible by your commitment by your action. Speaking on the expanded interest in PWDs inclusion Ambassador the EU Ambassador said it was a direct fallout of recommendations of the 2019 election observation missions geared towards ensuring that no one, especially the disability community, is not left behind in 1023 and future polls. “As you know, this was one of the key recommendations of the European Union Election Observation Mission. Observe the elections in 2019. And this more exactly, to be more precise is recommendation number 30 of the final report, which indicates that parties be legally required to have policies on the political participation of persons with disabilities and also require INEC to provide devices in all polling units and Information and accessible. “The rights of persons with disability is also one of the seven priorities which have been defined and our human rights and democracy country strategy for Nigeria. We know how important your contribution to society is. We know how important it is not to leave anyone behind and we will continue to work together. There have been great achievements. I think I can say, Jake, also in the framework of the electoral process, We have seen important improvements” she stated. Earlier in his address, Ambassador Jake Epelle, founder/CEO of Albino foundation disclosed that the EU had only recently extended its partnership with the foundation, making it possible for the foundation to champion the inclusion of PWDs in the electoral process. Ambassador Epelle hinted that the foundation will soon launch a nationwide campaign to create awareness for inclusivity in the electoral process and in line with the mandate of its partners to ensure that at least 100 PWDs scale up the ladder into both elective and appointive positions in the next three years. He added that the EU had through its robust engagement with the Independent National Electoral Commission,the foundation and other stakeholders supported and funded relevant provisions in the 2022 Electoral Act that deals squarely with PWDs inclusion in the electoral process. The foundation seized the occasion to unveil a new management team as well as take delivery of a 2022 model Prado Jeep, presented to the foundation by the European Union to enhance its operations. THE ALBINO FOUNDATION DEMANDS INCLUSIVE PUBLIC POLITICAL CAMPAIGN Ambassador Jake Epelle, the Founder/ CEO of Albino Foundation, has warned candidates and political parties in the 2023 elections not to take the votes of the 16 million PWDs community for granted, stating that the disability community has the numbers to change the outcome of the coming general election. He has there urged the parties and their candidates to run a PWD-inclusive campaign and lend support to efforts of Civil Society Organizations working to ensure an inclusive election and society. While commending the efforts by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC ) in ensuring that disability issues are mainstreamed into electoral throughout the electoral phases, he urged political parties, as gatekeepers to political decision-making, to support disability inclusion in politics. “To become more competitive, it is important for parties to adopt practices that increase the inclusivity of underrepresented communities. These actions will help build and maintain a broader base of constituent support and earn citizens’ trust”, Epelle added that electoral umpire has “taken steps to remove barriers that restrict full participation of PWDs as voters and several measures have been put in place to ensure that persons with disabilities are included in the country’s electoral processes.” Before public political campaigns started, the Albino Foundation demanded the following in the interest of inclusivity: Involvement of PWDs in campaign committee set up. Campaign materials should be produced in accessible formats to reach different clusters of PWDs; the visually impaired and persons with albinism. As enshrined in the 2018 Disability Act, political parties must ensure that locations and settings for meetings and campaign activities are accessible to all PWDs, including party offices. Provision of sign language interpreters for the hearing-impaired community. Provision of adequate security network for persons with disabilities during campaign activities. Strengthened internal democracy, whereby political parties allow PWD members to fully participate in the activities, including running for elective positions. Political parties should subsidize election costs for Persons with Disabilities, taking into account
