F Njahîra Wangarî - Book Chapter

Abstract
"This chapter blends African oral and written narratives, lived experiences with a genetic chronic disability and a Roman Catholic upbringing. These will be interrogated to illustrate the role of alternative explanations in influencing advocacy and activism for the lives, wellbeing, dignity and inclusion of persons with disabilities. Particularly, this chapter is an exploration of self-identity and how persons with disabilities are conditioned to view ourselves in specific ways while highlighting alternative perceptions available is presented by the author. It engages the works of several African and African-descendent authors who feature persons with disabilities as characters in their books and relies on narrative prosthesis as the basis for this engagement."

Congratulations Asela for getting MENA region Parliamentarians on board for evaluation. I appreciate how national evaluation associations are playing a role in this process.

Thanks Ritu, national evaluation associations are also involved in discussions with MPs and both MPs and NEAs going to work together, however this will be an interactive process which will be an ongoing process.
