Amélioration de la Vulnérabilité et Autonomisation par la Nouvelle Capacité et l'Engagement au Togo (AVANCE-Togo)
In Togo, persons with disabilities encounter numerous challenges that substantially hinders their ability to build resilience against socioeconomic, environmental, and health-related adversities. These challenges, deeply rooted in societal, infrastructural, and policy-related factors, significantly restrict their full participation in society. USAID’s 2022 Resilience Policy articulates resilience as the capacity of individuals, households, communities, countries, and systems to mitigate, adapt to, and recover from shocks and stresses in ways that mitigate chronic vulnerability and promote inclusive growth. For persons with disabilities, resilience transcends merely surviving imminent disasters, economic crises, or health emergencies. It encompasses building a sustainable foundation that not only withstands shocks but also ensures that recovery processes are inclusive and equitable.
