HELASIA project: Health, Education, Livelihood in Africa: a Sustainable Inclusion Approach

HELASIA is a multi-country project, implemented in five countries (Benin, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Mozambique and Rwanda) that aims to "improve the situation of people with disabilities in Africa through their effective participation in the development and implementation of policies and programmes at local, national and regional levels".

As project impact, persons with disabilities in Rwanda, Benin, Madagascar, Mozambique and Ethiopia will have improved their rights and quality of life.
The HELASIA project is directly implemented by country teams and national partners in each location and in addition counts a regional coordination unit based in Ethiopia and two regional partners, the Africa Disability Forum (ADF) and the Pan African Network of People with Psychosocial Disabilities (PANPPD). The first phase of the project (Ethiopia, Rwanda, Benin, regional level with ADF) covers the period October 2019-December 2022, while the second phase (Mozambique, Madagascar, and regional level with PANPPD) covers the period December 2020-December 2022.
