Catalogue of resources for the e-library of NAWWD

Commissioned by the Secretariat of the African Decade of Persons with Disabilities, as part of the initiative to strengthen the Network of African Women with Disabilities. 
November 2009.

The following resources were collated during a systematic review of information relating to women with disabilities in Africa.  It represents a collection of articles, research reports, factsheets, documents and training packs produced between 1994-2009.  Electronic searches were conducted on the websites of key international Non-Government Organisations (NGOs) and Disabled People's Organisations (DPOs,) as well as several other bodies such as the African Union.  The searches took place over a period of 3 weeks and were restricted to documents which are available at no cost; all of these are in English, but where Portuguese or French versions were available, these are included.  Electronic copies of all the articles cited here are contained on this CD in different formats (MS Word, pdf and Web Archive).   In addition, there is a list of websites and organizations which may be useful resources to women with disabilities on the continent.

 

The intention of this e-library is to make relevant information more accessible to women with disabilities in Africa, and in this way contribute to the promotion and protection of their rights.  It is not be to sold or in any way used for financial gain.
