We Can Work Programme Brief

The We Can Work program will improve access to dignified and fulfilling work for 1,000,000 young women and men with disabilities in Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Ghana, Nigeria, and Senegal over eight years (2023 – 2030). In each country, teams of Disability Inclusion Advisors and Facilitators will support the development of Mastercard Foundation’s internal and partner capacity to mainstream disability in all Young Africa Works programs.

The program will further deploy targeted skills-building and entrepreneurship support interventions for young women and men with disabilities to successfully transition to work. We Can Work is instrumental in realizing the ambitions of Mastercard Foundation about Disability Inclusion.

Changing systems and minds

The program is based on four outcomes that will equip young people with disabilities with leadership skills, support new and existing Young Africa Works programs on becoming more disability-inclusive, and directly provide skills training to the most marginal young women and men with disabilities.

At the foundation of We Can Work are young women and men with disabilities, who will be the drivers of change, contributing to all outcomes. The program will roll out the Disability Inclusion Facilitator (DIF) approach, where young women and men with disabilities lead the change process towards a more inclusive society. Targeted communication activities geared towards cultivating self-advocacy and the invaluable life experience that DIFs bring are an effective way to change mindsets and convey the importance of disability inclusion.

1. Outcome 1: Young women and men with disabilities drive positive change around disability inclusion.
2. Outcome 2: Young women and men with disabilities have formed start-ups and agribusiness and are growing their enterprises or accessing waged jobs due to direct interventions.
3. Outcome 3: The Young Africa Works program and other system actions intentionally and meaningfully reach out to young women and men with disabilities and ensure that they equally benefit from programs and services.
4. Outcome 4: Young women and men with disabilities enact agency by contributing to national and regional advocacy processes to implement youth and disability-inclusive policies.
