The Challenge

Persons with disabilities in Nigeria faced stigma and exclusion from vocational and employment programmes, rooted in the charity model of disability. Reluctance to self-identify, non-inclusive organisational systems, and absent inclusion planning limited opportunity access.

Our Approach

A documentary capturing the DIF approach as a systems-change catalyst: real-life stories of facilitators advocating, mentoring peers, and conducting awareness training for thousands of participants and partners - detailing the shift from charity-based to rights-based inclusion through interviews and on-the-ground footage.

The Result
  • Visual and narrative verification of inclusion impact with real beneficiaries
  • Compelling evidence for donors and funders including Mastercard Foundation
  • Advocacy tool educating stakeholders and influencing policymakers
  • Replicable model demonstrated for broader sectoral transformation
