Community Leaders’ Disability Training Resources

Kupenda has developed a suite of resources that program implementers can use to train different community leader groups as disability advocates. Tools include a disability workshop facilitator’s guide, workshop handouts, and a workshop follow-up guide. Program monitoring and evaluation tools are also included to help implementers assess changes in the participants’ disability advocacy knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Each set of materials is tailored to the unique needs and values of each leader group.
