The Global Disability Fund/UN Partnership on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNPRPD) is dedicated to the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). It brings together different UN entities, governments, persons with disabilities and civil society for the purpose of joint programming and partnerships. The GDF/UNPRPD Country Specific project in Kenya brings on board ILO, UNICEF and UNFPA to strengthen systems towards Disability Inclusive Policies, Programmes and Services. Funded from 2024, the project focuses on four key areas:
Persons with disabilities continue to face stigma and discrimination across different areas and sectors to include in education, labour markets, transportation, housing, health, social protection with significant gender disparities and negative impacts on underrepresented groups. To respond to this challenge, a strategy on non-discrimination and elimination of stigma against persons with disabilities will be developed through a consultative process with specific emphasis on intersectional discrimination against women and girls with disabilities and underrepresented groups. The process of development will be led by the State Department for Social Protection with meaningful participation of OPDs, other state agencies and departments and non-state actors. Capacities of persons with disabilities will be built to know their rights and ensure their meaningful participation in the strategy development and other processes such as in policy formulation and analysis.
It is in this regard that the ILO is seeking to contract an Individual Consultant to support the process of development of a strategy on non-discrimination and elimination of stigma against persons with disabilities developed with a specific emphasis on intersectional discrimination against women and girls with disabilities and underrepresented groups. The Individual consultant will also enhance the capacity of OPDs on strategy development, policy formulation, and analysis.
