Strengthening OPDs’ Leadership to Promote Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (ESCR) Across Eastern, Southern, and Central Africa

The Microgrants Initiative, supported by the International Disability Alliance (2021–2026) under the project, “Upholding diversity and inclusion of all: advancing universal economic, social and cultural rights to leave no persons with disabilities behind in Southern Africa, in a world challenged by multiple crises”, directly addresses these critical gaps by providing targeted financial and technical support to grassroots OPDs.

.

This approach empowers OPDs to implement transformative, community-driven projects that promote the Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (ESCR) of persons with disabilities. Through small-scale grants, the initiative facilitates capacity building, strengthens OPD-led advocacy, encourages peer learning, and generates evidence-based knowledge aligned with IDA’s strategic priorities: movement strengthening, global advocacy, and knowledge generation.
