Entrepreneurs with disabilities need attention too

Abstract

The study examines entrepreneurship amongst persons with disabilities in Kampala, Uganda. According to Mukiibi & Mulya (2000) it is difficult to empower disabled persons at grassroots levels in Uganda. There is limited information about entrepreneurs with disabilities (EWDs), despite a number of them being self-employed and starting successful businesses. As a result, the contribution of EWDs to the economy, and society in general, remains unrecognized.
