Isoka District Commissioner Jairo Simbeye has urged the inclusion and prioritisation of persons with disabilities in Constituency Development Fund (CDF) empowerment programmes.
Speaking in an interview, Mr Simbeye stated that over 200 persons with disabilities have been registered and issued with identification cards under the Zambia Agency for Persons with Disabilities (ZAPD) in Isoka District.
The registration exercise aims to ensure that persons with disabilities are properly documented so that they can easily be reached and included in various government empowerment programmes.
