Policy Brief-QUALITY DATA MANAGEMENT AND REALIZING THE RIGHTS OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES IN ZAMBIA

This policy brief targets political parties but also other stakeholders/institutions involved in political processes in Zambia.

The disability access audits conducted in 2020/21 with 10 of the political parties under the project promoting disability inclusion in politics implemented by Zambia National Women’s Lobby (ZNWL), Disability Rights Watch (DRW) and Demo Finland reviewed that most of these political parties did not have clear records of their members. The only information available was for members who hold recognized positions and not the general membership. Also observed was that political party registers which should provide information about membership of political parties were not available. While most political parties claimed to have members with disabilities, they were unable to share the actual names or disability categories of those members. The brief provides insight into the importance of data management for political parties and further provides recommendations for parties and relevant stakeholders involved in political/electoral processes at various levels in the country.
