ADEMO
Associação dos Deficientes Moçambicanos (ADEMO), Mozambican association of disabled people
To promote the political, social, economic and cultural integration of disabled people in Mozambique and fight for their rights

Established in 1989, ADEMO was the first DPO in Mozambique and remains the country’s only national DPO, with around 80,000 members spread throughout the country’s 11 provinces. But ADEMO suffers – as do so many developing world DPOs – from scarce resources, which is why DDP partnered ADEMO in the Disability and Development Programme (DADP), in which the central element was to develop ADEMO’s capacity to represent disabled people throughout Mozambique.

Recognised as the ‘voice’ of disabled people in Mozambique, ADEMO have made links with a range of government ministries, such as Health, Women and Social Affairs, Labour and Education, which consult ADEMO on provisions for disabled people when drafting new policies.

DDP and ADEMO continue to work together to develop sustainable programmes such as income generation at the provincial level and to address the issue of the exclusion of disabled people from HIV/AIDS policies and programmes in Mozambique, where HIV prevalence is high.

At the same time, ADEMO and DDP know that the most effective means of securing the inclusion of disabled people as full and equal citizens will be through advocacy (lobbying and campaigning) and so the programmes we run together will continue to include training and resources to strengthen ADEMO’s skills in this area.
