Mental Health Society urges disability inclusion in policies, programmes and budgets

He said the training sought to improve the use of disability data to support evidence-based planning and decision-making, while equipping participants with practical skills to integrate disability inclusion into policies, programmes, plans and budgets.

Mr Kofie made the call at a capacity-building training organised in collaboration with the Ghana Federation of Disability Organisations and the Africa Disability Institute, with support from the European Union Delegation in Ghana.

Mr Humphrey Matey Kofie, Executive Secretary of (MEHSOG) said disability considerations should not be treated as an afterthought but incorporated from the initial stages of policy planning to ensure that the needs of vulnerable groups were adequately addressed.
