Voice PWD CoP
Amplifying the Voices of PWDs
VOICE PWDs Community of Practice (CoP) Network is an initiative born under the linking and learning component of the VOICE Project in Nigeria, supported by Oxfam. The CoP is an Organisation of Person with Disabilities (OPD) that comprises PWD community advocates, PWD-led CSOs, and PWD allies who work to amplify the voices of persons with disabilities (PWDs), engage in mutual learning, and advocate for inclusive policies and practices. It provides a platform for PWDs and stakeholders to connect, share experiences, and co-create innovative solutions to challenges of social inclusion across multi-sectors such as, education, healthcare, employment, climate action, and economic empowerment.
