Persons with disabilities face systemic barriers to food security, land ownership and economic opportunities, making them highly vulnerable to hunger, poverty and exclusion. Urgent action is needed to address these challenges. At Global Disability Summit (GDS) 2025, we call upon governments, donors and organizations to work together in removing these barriers and promoting inclusive food security. Drawing from the We are Able! programme (2021-2025) in East- and Central Africa, we highlight the key issues, including discrimination, limited land access and policy gaps.
