The Kenya Disability Inclusion Partnership (KDIP), co-chaired by the National Council for Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD), UNDP Kenya, and Inclusion Unfolding Africa, is developing a Disability Data Hub. This hub will serve as a centralized repository of disability-related data, policies, research, service directories, legislation, and toolkits. The hub will be hosted on the NCPWD website and designed to be accessible, user-friendly, and compliant with international accessibility standards (WCAG). It will provide policymakers, researchers, employers, and persons with disabilities with a one-stop platform for disability-related information in Kenya.
We are looking for one (1) Online Volunteer who, under the guidance of the KDIP Secretariat and in close collaboration with NCPWD’s ICT team, will design and develop the Disability Data Hub. In particular, the Online Volunteer is expected to: • Collaborate with KDIP partners to understand requirements and content categories. • Develop a prototype design/layout for the Disability Data Hub pages. • Integrate a Content Management System (CMS) to allow non-technical staff to update content. • Ensure compliance with web accessibility standards (WCAG). • Upload and organize initial content provided by KDIP partners. • Provide documentation and guidance for future updates. The design/layout should align with NCPWD’s corporate branding guidelines, which will be shared with the Online Volunteer in advance. The Online Volunteer will have the opportunity to work with KDIP partners and learn about how web design and accessibility can strengthen disability inclusion and visibility of successful interventions.
