The Employers’ Network on Disability
The network was formed by the EFC and officially launched in 1999 with the support of the International Labour Organisation. The objective of this initiative was to facilitate employment and training opportunities for persons with disabilities in the private sector. The Employers’ Network on Disability is actively serving its purpose by strengthening the link between the organisations dealing with disability-related issues, business community and persons with disabilities.

The Specialised Training and Disability Resource Centre was established in 2009 to train persons with diverse disabilities and enhance their capacity for employment. The Centre playes a key role in advocacy and lobbying for the rights of persons with diverse disabilities. We aim to promote inclusive economic development in all parts of the country thus creating long term sustainable employment and livelihoods for persons with disabilities.
