| dc.description.abstract | This was a cross-sectional study carried out in Mogadishu to assess societal policy frame work and practices and their influence on social economic development of people with disabilities in Somalia. To help with this appraisal, a total of 100 non-disabled respondents aged between 10-65 years were interviewed using simple random sampling, was used to decide locations and cluster sampling used for the households. Almost half of the respondents had relatives, friends with disabilities and three quarter indicated that some intervention (like vocational training and equipping them with special skills) should be availed to persons with disabilities. Three fifths (3 / 5) disagreed that there was equalization of opportunities to all members of the society’s; a fact reflected by nearly all of those interviewed stating no special institutions exist in the area to cater for the needs of persons with physical disabilities. It is therefore recommended that further sensitization and mobilization be community to be stepped up to harness the knowledge and attitude they possess so that they can be reflected in their practices | en_US |
