This policy brief examines Ghana’s progress and remaining challenges in achieving disability inclusion by 2030, drawing insights from the country’s Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) of 2019, 2022, and 2025. With about 2.1 million Ghanaians—8% of the population—living with disabilities, the brief highlights the urgent need for stronger data systems, accessible services, inclusive governance, and alignment with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).

While visibility of disability issues has improved, major gaps persist. Disability-disaggregated data remain limited, accessibility across sectors is inconsistent, and participation of Organisations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs) is often tokenistic. The brief outlines six priority actions: strengthening data and monitoring, reforming legal frameworks, making services and infrastructure accessible, expanding economic empowerment, enhancing inclusive governance, and boosting coordinated financing and partnerships.

It concludes with a call for decisive national action to make inclusion a reality—not just a commitment. With less than five years to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, Ghana must embed disability inclusion into every stage of planning, implementation, and accountability to truly “count everyone in” and foster a society where all persons with disabilities can thrive equally.
