ILO and UN Provide ICT Equipment to Zambia’s Disability Training Centre

The International Labour Organization (ILO), through the United Nations Joint Programme on Social Protection Phase Two (UNJP-SP II), donated $12,000 worth of advanced ICT equipment to Zambia’s National Vocational Rehabilitation Centre. The donation, including industrial printers and digital cameras, aims to improve training for persons with disabilities. Implemented in collaboration with UNDP, UNICEF, and WFP, the initiative supports the Zambian government’s efforts to develop an effective and inclusive social protection system. The project, running since August 2019 and funded by Ireland, Switzerland, the UK, and Sweden, reflects the UN’s commitment to rights-based social protection. By equipping the centre with modern tools, the initiative enhances vocational training and employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities, contributing to their economic empowerment and social inclusion. The programme highlights the importance of inclusive development in achieving sustainable growth and equality.
