In 1997, USAID became one of the first bilateral development agencies in the world to adopt a policy on disabilities, which continues to guide the Agency’s efforts towards disability inclusion. In 2023, USAID released for public comment an updated DRAFT policy, “Nothing Without Us: USAID Disability Policy,” which incorporates decades of learnings, shares promising practices, and provides guidance to Agency staff on how best to ensure persons with disabilities can fully contribute and participate in society on an equitable basis with others. The USAID Kenya and East Africa (KEA) Mission aims to meet the Agency’s commitment to persons with disabilities by not only aligning its work with the DRAFT Policy but also with the Agency’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) Strategy, which aims to enhance diversity and ensure inclusion of marginalized populations within the Agency’s workforce, culture, policies, partnerships, processes, and programs.
