Conduct 2 3-day sensitisation workshops in inclusive education for 5 head teachers, 10 teachers, 5 PTA members. 5 SHG/VSLA representatives and 4 local leaders
AHDI successfully conducted Inclusive Education training in Chibombo District through an intensive three (3) days workshop from 27th to 29th May, 2026 under the EMPOWER Project. By training 31 key stakeholders including head teachers, teachers, Parent-Teacher Committee members, traditional leaders and Self-Help Group representatives, the training established a collaborative community network across five target schools namely Kayosha Secondary, Mutakwa, Katete, Kapopo, and Moomba Primary schools in Mungule Ward, Chibombo District. Drawing from Collaboration for Inclusive Education and Identifying Out-of-School Learners manuals, participants engaged in root-cause analyses of educational exclusion, integrated statutory baselines from the Persons with Disabilities Act of 2012 and adopted the “Twin-Track” approach to balance systemic school reforms with individualized learner support.
The anticipated impact of this capacity building initiative centers on transforming these target schools from simple structures into adaptive, learner ready environments that guarantee learner presence, participation and achievement. Moving forward, these stakeholders are fully empowered to identify out-of-school children, manage smooth educational transitions, implement practical solutions such as physical accessibility modifications and community advocacy ensuring that no child in Chibombo District is left behind due to disability or economic vulnerability.
