CISA REPORT
NAIROBI, October, 23, 2012 (CISA)-A national organization for the Disabled people in Kenya plans to establish a training manual for use by the women and the persons working in the area of disability in the country.
In an interview with CISA during the opening of the five-day training workshop for disabled persons, October 22 at the Christian Health Association of Kenya (CHAK) Guest House, Nairobi, the Chairperson of the United Disabled Persons of Kenya (UDPK), Ms Godliver Omondi said the issue was central in the catering of the disabled people in the country.
“The proposed training manual is expected to enable the government ministries and departments to review disability as a developmental issue and lead to the development and implementation of curricular and or syllabuses that are disability friendly,” she explained.
More than 10 participants, drawn from various Community- based organizations (CBOs) working in the area of disabilities are attending the five-day training workshop (22-26).
“Through the use of the manual, government officials are expected to gain more interest in disability, such that disability becomes a priority issue in ministries agendas,” explained Ms Omondi.
The workshop topics include: the concept of disability, gender and mainstreaming, how to carry out mainstreaming processes and structure, task, functioning and working processes of a Ministry of Government departments.
The workshop is being organized by the Disabled Women in Africa (DWA) in collaboration with the Eastern African Federation of the Disabled (EAF0D).
Organizers at the workshop told CISA that by the end of the workshop, the proposed Training Manual document will have been worked on.
“This is one of the major businesses ahead of the workshop participants,” explained Mr Peter Musakhi, Assistant director for Gender and Social Development, who is representing the Government at the workshop.
