We Can Work (WCW) is an 8-year signature intervention spearheaded by Light for the World in collaboration with partner organizations including the Africa Disability Forum (ADF), Crosswise Works (CWW) and country-level disability federations.
This transformative program specifically targets youth with disabilities across 7 countries in East and West Africa: Ghana, Senegal, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, and Rwanda.
PDA is leading the baseline assessment for the intervention in West Africa (Ghana, Nigeria and Senegal). This baseline study will serve as a foundational step in the WCW program’s journey towards promoting inclusivity, empowerment, and sustainable livelihoods for youth with disabilities in East and West Africa. It will also provide valuable insights and benchmarks that will guide the program’s adaptation and implementation strategies, as well as future assessment of results and impact.
Inception activities have begun, and PDA in collaboration with B&M Consult (which is leading the baseline assessment in East Africa) has produced an inception report for the assignment. The team is currently developing the data collection tools and analysis framework for the project.
