This study investigated challenges facing disabled persons in employment opportunities within the public civil services using Dodoma Municipality as a case study. Specifically, the study intended to: establish the extent of employment for people with disability in the study area, examine the challenges faced by persons with disabilities in employment processes, and identify options to improve the employment status for people with disabilities. Qualitative and quantitative data collection methods were employed to collect data from 96 representative samples from the study area. Data were analysed quantitatively and qualitatively with the help of computer program (SPSS). The results pointed out that the employment rate for disabled people within the study area is 23.9%. These disabled people are employed in different positions mainly in education, health and office management. However, disabled people still face different challenges in recruitment and work places. The challenges include: discrimination, delayed process, negative attitude, poor working tools, poor infrastructure, and lack of assistive devices. The study recommends that the government ensures that the Disability act and Employment and Labor Relation Acts are well implemented. The government should also empower the disability organizations and look at the means of improving transports, building infrastructures and provision of assistive and working aids. |
