Vacancies NCPD

DMIS Project Manager (renewable after 1-year)

1. Introduction

National Council of Persons with Disabilities (NCDP) represents the views of persons with disabilities and is a forum for advocacy and social mobilisation on issues affecting persons with disabilities to build their capacity and ensure participation in the national development. NCPD assists the Government of Rwanda (GoR) to implement programmes and policies that benefit persons with disabilities and strengthens the disability network in Rwanda.

Around 15% of the global population – over a billion people – lives with some form of disability. According to the 2012 Census 446,453 persons with disabilities aged 5 and above (5%) live in Rwanda. While Rwanda has ratified the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and is committed towards building an inclusive society, persons with disabilities still face major inequalities. Exclusion of Persons with disabilities from participating equally in society makes them invisible.

Although disability data is collected occasionally, there is a gap of nation-wide reliable disaggregated data in Rwanda. Absence of data makes it difficult to effectively advocate for inclusion, actively target and support them, and measure change according to the most important indicators. For follow-up and review of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), it is recognized that quality, accessible, timely, and reliable disaggregated data will be needed to help with the measurement of progress towards disability inclusion.

NCPD wants to tackle this problem and will develop a Disability Management Information System (DMIS) which supports the council and key stakeholders in its function for better decision making, increased accountability, improved disability service delivery, and better coordination, ultimately to improve living conditions of persons with disabilities in Rwanda.

2. Disability Management Information System – DMIS

The DMIS will be an innovative digital support tool for the Identification & Registry of all Persons with Disabilities including a Case-Management support tool for the most in need in Rwanda. During the implementation of the DMIS as many as persons with disability will be identified. Consequently, in every village, persons with disabilities will be interviewed through a questionnaire developed in collaboration with stakeholders. Identification of persons with disabilities will be administered through a questionnaire where only relevant questions pop-up. Answers given are linked with (SDG) indicators about demographics, socioeconomic status, functional limitations, assistive devices, health care utilisation, barriers, wellbeing including specific needs and priorities of persons with disabilities and will be the base for on-demand dashboards and maps for M&E purposes.

Disability Registry including degree of disability as required in the Ministerial Order will be automatically calculated within the DMIS environment including a digital Limitation Profile and calculated Limitation Degree which is linked to certain GoR benefits. After the project phase in 2024, DMIS will continue through on-demand identification embedded in the GoR administrative structure.

Case-management is available for those persons with disabilities who have special needs and additional support assessed during the identification process of disability. This will be in general persons who have a severe type of disability. A case-manager will support, assist and refer but will not take over the responsibilities of the individual person with disability. Together with a person with disability and/or family a case-manager will make an Individual Support Plan (ISP) including proposed actions.

3. DMIS Key functions

DMIS will have the following key functions:

• DMIS will identify and register all persons with disabilities in Rwanda through a validated and international recognized comprehensive questionnaire;
• DMIS is linked with National ID Agency (NIDA) for a digital Limitation profile and degree;
• DMIS will have an overview of barriers and needs of persons with disabilities including assistive devices and personal assistance;
•  DMIS is a web-based database which could be linked with other GoR databases such as LODA for UBUDEHE categories, HMIS for health services, and NISR for comparison with Demographic Health Survey (DHS) and National Census;
• DMIS is accessible anytime and anywhere by all groups of stakeholders through a secure environment in line with the national personal data security law with different levels of access for different users and through different devices;
•  DMIS is free of barriers, both through Kinyarwanda and English languages, where persons with disabilities could check their own profile;
•  DMIS will transform data into easy to read dashboards and maps with all relevant (SDG) indicators for different purposes and for all relevant stakeholders;
•  DMIS will support case-management for persons with a severe type of disability.
