The Centre for Disability Development Research Law and Policy has charged that the management and board for Zambia Agency for Persons with Disabilities (ZAPD) has failed to function to expectations of persons with disabilities in the country

Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) has donated 14 bells of second hand clothes worth K7 million to Zambia Agency for Persons with Disabilities (ZAPD).

FOR many years now we have seen persons with disabilities in our streets and communities begging or demonstrating against our Government for poor service delivery, and this has been so since the first Republic. However, the Government on the other hand tries its best to ensure that persons with disabilities are integrated and supported directly and indirectly.

This is the reason why the Government created Zambia Agency for Persons with Disabilities (ZAPD), National Trustee for the Disabled (NTD) and National Vocational Rehabilitation Centre (NVRC). This was in an effort to promote sustainable rehabilitation and create employment for persons with disabilities in Zambia.

Center for Disablity Development Reserch law and Policy Regional Adviser Africa Dr Charles Mwape says his organisation has commenced the construction of a center for the rehabilitation for persons living with mental health in Mumbwa District.
