For every child, [Resilience]
According to the population projection for 2020, children (0-17) are
28.8 million which is 49.9~50% of the total population. Children with
disabilities make up 3.5% of this number or approximately 1 million
infants, children and adolescents. In Tanzania, as in much of the
developing world, despite proactive legislation, children with
disabilities face difficulties in having equal access to their physical
environment, as well as to health and nutrition care, water and
sanitation services, education and social support systems available to
children without disabilities. In addition, children with disabilities
are at increased risk of physical, sexual, emotional violence and
neglect. Some of this is the result of attitudes, cultural beliefs and
practices that have historically segregated children and young people
with disabilities from society; some reflects lack of knowledge and
awareness and missed opportunities for meaningful inclusion. Inclusion
for children and young people with disabilities will often call upon
dedicated resources and support systems that are already stretched thin
and are not well coordinated. However, the cost to the individual,
family and society over the course of a lifetime for children and young
people with disabilities who remain socially marginalised, unable to
access education, and lacking in training for future employment or
citizenship far outweighs short-term investments needed to ensure that
children and young people with disabilities have a good start in life.
If these barriers are not addressed, it will leave thousands of children
with disabilities and their families without the resources, knowledge
or systems of care and support needed for CYPWD to reach their potential
and contribute to Tanzanian society.
In 2013, UNICEF commissioned a Situational Analysis of Children with Disabilities in Tanzania,
which was intended to provide a ‘snapshot’ of what is known about
children with disabilities in Tanzania and what are the barriers and
challenges they face. The report reviewed barriers and challenges faced
by children and adolescents with disabilities and their families in
Tanzania, presented relevant legislation and data available on children
and adults with disabilities and highlighted significant gaps in key
areas such as education, health and rehabilitative care and social
inclusion. Since 2013, additional literature has been published on
children with disabilities as well as surveys that can provide more
recent perspective of the lives of children with disabilities, including
2017/18 Household Budget Survey (HBS) in Mainland Tanzania and 2019/20
HBS in Zanzibar. The Tanzania Country Office (TCO) Disability Working
Group established in 2020, has recommended that the 2013 situational
analysis of the needs of children with disabilities to be updated in
order to contribute to UNICEF Tanzania’s Country Programme Document
2022-2027 and serve as a background document for improved disability
inclusive programming
