Abstract

In Ghana, as in other developing African countries, there is growing awareness of the reality that some of the key constraints towards the participation of disabled persons in development programmes, are the physical barriers in the built environment, which inhibit the free movement of disabled persons to places of education, employment, commerce, recreation and worship. This paper discusses some of the local factors that have restrained the promotion of access legislation in Ghana, and recommends strategic actions for utilising existing institutional structures to pursue access legislation to safeguard the accessibility of the built environment to disabled persons.
