Background
According to the UBOS 2024 census report, 1.7 million children aged 2-17 years, experience some form of functional difficulty. When children with disabilities below 2 years are included, the total figure is estimated to be above 2.2 million.
Children with disabilities and their families often experience poverty and social exclusion due to multiple, interrelated factors, including the additional costs of accessing health, education, and other essential services; a reduced ability to earn income resulting from caregiving responsibilities; and widespread stigma, prejudice, and a general lack of understanding about disability. Households with children with disabilities face significantly higher expenses than others, including for health services, transportation and education. Caregivers of children with disabilities often have reduced ability to work to earn an income.
To address the above challenges, the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development has designed the National Child Disability Assistance Programme (NCDAP) aimed to provide comprehensive and integrated interventions for children with disabilities. The programme provides essential support for families of children with disabilities to enable their children to access healthcare, rehabilitation, education and proper nutrition. The programme will specifically undertake the following:
a) Establish a national system for early identification, screening and assessment of children with disabilities
b) Provide regular and predictable incomes to households with children with severe disabilities.
c) Improve social care and support systems for children with disabilities.
d) Contribute to the development of a comprehensive and inclusive national social protection system.
The National Child Disability Assistance Programme (NCDAP) is aligned to NDP4, UN CRPD, AU Protocol, National Policy for Persons with Disabilities 2023, and Persons with Disabilities Act Cap 115 among others.
The MGLSD under the NCDAP invites suitable applicants to fill the positions below, to complement the existing National, regional and district level expertise in disability.
Work Hours: 8
Experience in Months: 12
