Abstract

This study explores the perceived benefits and challenges of the Social Cash Transfer (SCT) programme for learners with disabilities in Kalumbila District, Zambia. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions involving learners, parents, teachers, and social service officers. The findings reveal that while SCT contributes to improved school attendance and basic educational support, significant barriers persist—including limited awareness, cultural stigma, inadequate outreach, and inconsistent disbursement. Schools played a crucial intermediary role, yet gaps in stakeholder coordination and inclusive communication practices hinder full access for eligible children. The study highlights systemic shortcomings in programme design, especially in addressing the complex needs of children with disabilities. It emphasizes the importance of embedding SCT within a broader inclusive social protection framework, supported by assistive services and multi-level collaboration. Despite offering critical insights, the study is limited by its geographic focus and qualitative scope, which constrain generalizability.

Abstract

The increased need for independence among individuals with visual impairment poses a deliberate prerequisite to equipping them with orientation and mobility skills.  This study aimed to investigate the practices of teaching orientation and mobility skills among university students with visual impairment in Tanzania.  Understanding the practices used, new and better policies can be developed to improve the training of orientation and mobility for students with visual impairments. The study employed an intrinsic case study design to generate in-depth information on training orientation and mobility for students with visual impairments. Purposively, 25 participants were selected to participate in the study, including students with visual impairment, orientation and mobility specialists, and administrators. Inductive thematic analysis using NVIVO was employed to make sense of data generated from two selected universities using interviews, focus group discussions, observation,s and documentary reviews.  The findings revealed that orientation and mobility are taught in an unstructured environment without proper guidelines to guide the teaching process. Based on the findings, it is recommended that orientation and mobility training should be incorporated into the university policy and curriculum to allow students with visual impairment to learn orientation and mobility systematically for proper mastery of the skills.
