The Council, in collaboration with USAID, has launched a comprehensive report titled “Landscape Analysis of Disability at the County and National Levels in Kenya.”
This groundbreaking analysis delves deep into the current state of policies, programs, and emerging challenges faced by Kenyans with disabilities. It aims to serve as a crucial foundation for collaboration and coordination, ultimately strengthening service delivery at both county and national levels.
The research and development process wouldn’t have been possible without the instrumental support of USAID. The launch event itself was a momentous occasion, graced by the presence of Ps. Joseph M. Motari, MBS Principal Secretary for Social Protection and Senior Citizen Affairs. He emphasized the report’s valuable role in paving the way for inclusive social participation for all Kenyans with disabilities.
Additionally, the event saw esteemed guests like:
Hon. Timothy Wanyonyi MP Westlands and Chairperson Kenya Disability Parliamentary Association (KEDIPA)
Hon. Esther Passaris- Nairobi City County Woman Representative
Hon. Alice Ng’ang’a,-Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Social Protection

Kristina Pratt-Chairperson Board of Trustees of the National Fund for the Disabled of Kenya
Prof Julia Ojiambo
