Together with ZAFOD, ZAPCD shares a vision of a society where persons with disabilities enjoy equal rights and opportunities that are generally available in society and are necessary for the fundamental rights including education, employment, health, housing, financial and personal security. ZAPCD has delivered projects focused on supporting the employment of young people with disabilities in partnership with Sani Foundation, a programme that primarily supported youth with intellectual impairments.

Able Child and ZAPCD came together in partnership in 2020, and  have worked together to understand the barriers children with disabilities in Zambia face when accessing inclusive education, through a three-year Early Learning Programme funded by the Vitol Foundation. ZAPCD were one of the founding members of the Able Child Africa Network in 2023.
