INCLUSION WORKS PROJECT
Reducing the Barriers to Employment of Persons with Disabilities
We designed and published the Nigerian Disability Employment Manual which is currently used by recruiting organizations such as Jobberman Nigeria and Enterprise Development Center – Pan Atlantic University with over 70,000 employers, over 2 million employees and over 100,000 small medium business owners across West Africa. Currently, we are providing capacity building workshops for Nigerian employers of labour to motivate employers to hire accessibility related business settings for persons with disabilities in the Nigerian workplace. Jobberman Nigeria is partnering with Special Needs Initiative For Growth to train youths with visual impairment, down syndrome and autism on employment soft skills for productivity. They will also be connected to employment opportunities after the training.

Promoting dissemination of positive experiences and coexistence
Under the auspices of the European Union External Action Service and Global Exchange on Religion in Society (GERIS), the Special Needs Initiative for Growth in collaboration with the Blog4SDGs are conducting the multi-cultural dialogue program to engage civil society practitioners, policy stakeholders and governments in critical discussions on civil society issues affecting them.
