Poverty still poses a greater challenges especially in the rural communities and peri-urban set up.
Funding for disability related intervention has not received the priority required for equalizing opportunities for PWDs.

The emerging non communicable disease burden is a threat to disability prevention and management.
Community attitudes towards persons with disabilities is still a big barrier.
