Disability and service delivery perspectives of service users in a rural community in the Eastern Cape

Since the advent of democracy in South Africa rural and disabled people have lagged behind in terms of access to services, and that has implications on their enjoyment of socio-economic rights. Although exclusion from access to services is documented in literature, little research has been done to explore rural and disabled people's perspectives on inclusive service delivery. The purpose of this study was to contribute to the literature regarding inclusive service delivery in health, education and social development and citizen participation in rural areas. Insights into perspectives of rural citizens are pertinent for improved and inclusive service delivery. The aim of this study was to describe the perspectives of rural people regarding disability inclusive public sector service delivery in social development, health and education in a remote village in the Eastern Cape, South Africa.
