Due to the ongoing engagement of DPOs, the PRSP now mentions people with disabilities and their interests at various points. The matter is handled more or less as a cross-cutting issue, and is included in seven sectors and all of the so-called clusters of the paper. Disability is recognised as a main cause of poverty. The second PRSP clearly acknowledges the weakness of the first PRSP on these points. This shows that the Tanzanian PRS process represents a genuine learning cycle, and that the strategy has been adjusted to the country’s specific situation. The workshop in September 2005 was a real milestone as it brought many different stakeholders together. As a result, a number of participating organisations promised to implement poverty reduction projects and made useful suggestions. The workshop formed the starting point for the MKUKUTA Disability Network.
