Programme Summary
Tanzania Association of Disabled Issues Journalists (TADIJO) is a Tanzanian association that seeks to combine efforts by journalists, individuals, and non-governmental organisations (NGO) in order to deepen knowledge and expertise on different forms of disabilities, as well as to identify challenges facing people with disabilities. TADIJO seeks to capitalise on the media's influence among the community, to sustain and promote the welfare of people with disabilities, to defeat the stigma related to disabilities, and to address the social economical and political factors that support discrimination. Ultimately, the organisation aims to uplift disabled persons' status from a life of permanent dependence to self-reliance through the media.
