A new report looking into if the status of the Built Environment in Nairobi is favourable for persons with disabilities was launched today at Weston Hotel along Lang’ata road Nairobi.
The report titled: Case Study Report on Inclusive Design and Accessibility of the Built Environment was made possible through data collections using various techniques to include: Face to face interviews, workshop and photo diaries.
Speaking during the launch was Executive Director of Kilimanjaro Blind Trust Africa Ms Suparna Biswas who said: ” During the data collection process we noticed that there is a disconnect between the policy and the actual Infrastructure within Nairobi and a lot of advocacy is required to change things”
Some of the areas presenting barriers to Accessibility according to the report include: In Transport and Roads, Housing and Infrastructure, Recreation and Culture, Daily Activities and Services.
The study was conducted for the period between July 2021 and December 2021
