In 2020 a Disability Inclusive Graduation program was launched in Northern Uganda, targeting 2,700 households living in extreme poverty. The DIG program provided training on enterprise management, life skills, financial literacy, and inclusion in Village Savings and Loans Association (VSLA) groups and Village Social Solidarity Committees. Among the participants were 554 persons living with disabilities (PLWDs) who received additional support in the forms of assistive and prosthetic devices, community advocacy, legal consultation and psychosocial support through coaching and mentorship.
