IWDP Public Lectures: From Rights to Services – A Practical Guide to Public Services, Funding & URA

This morning’s IWDP2025 lectures zeroed in on practical access to public services for Deaf and hard of hearing Ugandans. Sessions covered grant pathways (eligibility, documents, where to apply) and taxpayer registration with URA (why it matters, how to enroll, assistance channels). The through-line: reliable Ugandan Sign Language (UgSL) access and trained interpreters are the first step to fair service—without them, information gaps become service gaps. Attendees left with clear steps, contact points, and next actions for funding and URA registration.
