tina peters Community Engagement - Disability Policy - Governance - Inclusion - Makueni County - tina petersExplore how Makueni County is gearing up to support our differently-abled friends with an exciting new disability policy!
In a groundbreaking move towards inclusivity, Makueni County's Department of Gender, Children, Youth, Sports, and Social Services recently held a vibrant stakeholders' engagement forum. This crucial meeting brought together local leaders, health officials, and advocates for the disabled community to review the draft of the Makueni County Disability Policy. By involving various stakeholders, the county demonstrates a commitment to understanding, representing, and advocating for individuals with disabilities. The forum served as a platform for sharing insights, experiences, and suggestions to create a robust policy that would uplift and empower the differently-abled members of the community.
The discussions at the forum highlighted the significant challenges faced by people with disabilities in Makueni County. From lack of access to education and health services, to social stigma, participants shared personal stories that painted a vivid picture of their daily struggles. This prompted an enthusiastic dialogue about potential strategies for overcoming these obstacles and implementing practical solutions that can lead to meaningful change. The feedback gathered during this forum is poised to influence not just the policy's content, but also the spirit in which it is delivered, ensuring it is impactful and beneficial for all.
As the draft policy takes shape, it promises to prioritize employment opportunities, accessible infrastructure, and inclusive educational practices tailored specifically for people with disabilities. The Makueni County government is dedicated to creating an environment where everyone, regardless of their circumstances, has the chance to thrive. This means creating job opportunities that cater to individuals' unique capabilities and ensuring that schools are equipped to cater to diverse learning needs.
Something especially heartwarming about this initiative is that it comes from the ground up. The Makueni stakeholder forum embodies community spirit, highlighting that real change happens when communities come together to lift each other up. It’s not just about policies on paper; it’s about real lives, real stories, and real change.
Did you know that approximately 15% of the world's population lives with some form of disability? In Kenya alone, the prevalence is around 10%, which means there is an urgent need for policies that cater to these individuals. Furthermore, empowering people with disabilities can have a substantial economic impact, as inclusive practices foster a diverse workforce that benefits everyone!
