Leaving no-one behind: The case of persons with disabilities in the wake of cyclone Idai, in Zimbabwe

This factsheet uses limited data gathered from the registration process undertaken by the World Food Programme (Zimbabwe Office) during its operations in Chimanimani and Chipinge. There are clear limitations in this regard since no disability survey per se has been conducted. The current data may under-identify persons with disabilities and the disability large spectrum has not been adequately covered under the three classification of “mild”, “moderate”, and “severe”, etc. However, this is a good start in drawing stakeholders’ attention to the imperative need to address disability inclusion in Disaster and Risk Management infinitives.
