The inABLE Team had a wonderful time being a part of the Disability-Inclusive Employment Summit 2026, organised by @RizikiSource, under the theme 'Breaking Systemic Barriers to Meaningful Employment for Persons with Disabilities.'
Our Programs Director, Charles Warria, moderated a panel session on ๐๐๐๐ถ๐๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐ง๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ต๐ป๐ผ๐น๐ผ๐ด๐: ๐ง๐ผ๐ผ๐น๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐ป๐ฐ๐น๐๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐๐บ๐ฝ๐น๐ผ๐๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐. The conversation touched on how we can all play a role in improving access to assistive technology and why persons with disabilities need to be part of shaping the solutions designed for them.
One thing is clear: creating inclusive workplaces takes all of us! It means working together, making assistive technology more accessible and creating opportunities for persons with disabilities to bring their skills and talents to the workplace. Together, we can make a difference! ๐

Kenya has launched the Disability Mainstreaming Policy together with its implementation guidelines for the Health sector. This policy is a positive step in providing a framework to enhance Disability Inclusion across Kenyaโs health system, by addressing barriers therefore ensuring better access to quality healthcare for persons with disabilities.
The right to the highest attainable standard of health by persons with disabilities is protected by the Constitution, Persons with disabilities Act, 2025, Health Act, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), Africa Disability Protocol (ADP) and other human rights frameworks.
The Ministry of Health led the development of the policy through a consultative process which included persons with disabilities and their organisations (OPDs), disability focussed organizations, county governments and other stakeholders. The Policy Implementation Guidelines have set targets including;
1. Ensuring accessible communication to all service delivery points,
2. Advancing Disability inclusion in health promotion, early identification of disability, rehabilitation, mental health referral services.
3. Disability inclusion in maternal and child health, immunization, nutrition, prevention and management of non-communicable diseases, sexual and reproductive health and emergency health services.
4. Adequate rehabilitation services Assistive technologies.
5. Advancing employment of persons with disabilities in health care at national, county, community levels.
6. Involving persons with disabilities in planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation.
The ministry committed to review the training curriculum for Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) and counties also committed to setting up Disability Mainstreaming units to coordinate disability inclusion across the devolved functions in the health care system.
There is focus on meaningful engagement of persons with disabilities and their organisations (OPDs) as we move to implementation.
As OPDs, we have our work cut out in monitoring implementation as per the targets set in the Implementation Guidelines for the Policy. #InclusiveHealth @MOH_Kenya

Persons with disabilities must be at the centre of decisions making process. The Kakamega County Disability @KakamegaCaucus is leading structured engagement with the County Government and County Assembly to advocate for increased investment in assistive technologies, inclusive planning, and responsive budgeting.
By bringing the lived experiences of persons with disabilities directly into policy and budget discussions, OPDs are helping shape a future where assistive technologies are available, affordable, and accessible to everyone who needs them. @EduMinKenya @Ncpwds @LabourSPKE @IDA_CRPD_Forum @CHAI_health @apdkdisability
