UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME TENDER 2020 

INNOVATIONA CHALLENGE – REQUEST FOR DISABILITY INCLUSIVE AND ACCESSIBLE INNOVATIONS

Background

The global crisis of COVID-19 is deepening pre-existing inequalities and exacerbating challenges faced by people living with disability. More  than 15 percent of the global population — over 1 billion people – are estimated to have a disability, 80 percent of whom live in developing countries. According to the 2019 census, 2.2% (0.9 million people) of Kenyans live with some form of disability. Persons with disabilities have, under normal circumstances, challenges in accessing health care, education , employment and many other services and opportunities, These challenges have been compounded during the pandemic due to measures to control disease transmission and the strains of the on the economy and service delivery.

UNDP Kenya through the “Transcending Foundations of Peace and security for Inclusive and Sustainable Development in Kenya” programme and the UNDP Accelerator Lab seek to address immediate and underlying drivers of conflict including, poverty, inequality and youth unemployment by promoting inclusion and participation of persons with disabilities (PWDs), women and other marginalized groups in sustainable interventions.

UNDP is looking for registered companies or organizations in Kenya that can respond to the Innovation Challenge with Accessible and Inclusive Innovations that focus on Persons with Disabilities (PWDs).
