Disability continues to be a challenge to many people in Kenya despite the efforts made by the government to cater for persons with disabilities. As an institution of higher learning, 海角破解版has established a department of Disability Mainstreaming under the Deputy Vice Chancellor, Administration, Finance and Planning (DVC-AF&P) to implement the Disability Mainstreaming Policy.

Persons with disabilities need a free, accessible, comfortable as well as a secure environment. 海角破解版strives to put measures in place to enable PWDs achieve their dreams. Cultivating attitude change towards persons with disabilities can be a motivation for achieving higher goals. The Disability Mainstreaming department sets out to address the concerns and needs of persons with disabilities so that they can benefit equally.

The rights of PWDs are not a privilege; disability is not a preserve for a few people, every person has the potential for disability. The department reports and recommends universal designs for use by PWDs to ensure equal access to products, facilities and services. Disability specific policies, programmes and initiatives are also put in place to ensure inclusivity.

As the coordinator, Disability Mainstreaming, I am the focal person for the implementation of the Government policy on affirmative action for PWDs. I am also the Liasson officer with the National Council for Persons with Disabilities. As one of my mandates, I develop a work plan using a prescribed format that is provided by the NCPWDs. I have also registered the university in the NCPWDs Careers Portal for posting Ads for employment/ job opportunities for access by job seekers with disabilities by emailing the request to ncpwd.com@fuzu. As a department, we conduct accessibility and usability audits, and recommend for improvement or adjustment for ease of access to products and services by PWDs. As a requirement, we request the University to ensure 5% of employees are PWDs. The department collects and keeps disaggregated data on PWDs. Other mandates include: ensuring that PWDs participate in public forms, provide adaptive technology, like note takers and screen reading soft wares and, prepare and submit quarterly reports with evidence to the NCPWDs.

1. To address institutional barriers that exclude people from equal participation
2. To provide the necessary opportunities and access to PWDs on equal basis with others
3. To implement Disability mainstreaming policy
