The We are able! project strengthens Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and Organizations of People with Disabilities (OPDs) in six fragile and conflict affected countries (Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), South Sudan, Sudan, Uganda and Ethiopia) in their lobby and advocacy for sustainable and inclusive access to basic resources, contributing to improved food security (SDG2).

The consortium consists of ZOA, The African Disability Forum (ADF), SeeYou Foundation, The Leprosy Mission Netherlands (TLM) and implementing partners VNGI and The Hague Academy for Local Governance.

My role is to act as the coordinator for the baseline study of the WaA! project. Responsibilities include the development of the sampling strategy, developing data collection methods and tools, providing guidance and assistance to country teams in preparing for data collection, during data collection and analysis of the results. I’m responsible for preparing the final program level baseline report based on data from the six WaA! country teams.
