Documenting Kenya's Implementation of Sustainable Development Goals in Compliance with UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD)

TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR CONSULTANT

1. INSTITUTIONAL CONTEXT

Kenya has been a top advocate of Agenda 2030. Kenya was a member of the High Level Panel of Eminent Persons who advised the United Nations Secretary General on the global development framework beyond 2015. The Permanent Representative of Kenya to the UN Ambassador Macharia Kamau co-chaired the UN General Assembly Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)mandated to develop a set of sustainable development goals.

In 2015, Kenya was already in the 8th year of implementing its long-term Economic blueprint, the Kenya Vision 2030, which is being implemented in 5-year rolling Medium Term Plans (MTP). By the time the SDGs were adopted, the second MTP (2013-2017) was in its third year of implementation. The process of the preparation of the third MTP (2018- 2022) and the second generation County Integrated Development Plans (CIDPs) is ongoing in which SDGs and Africa Agenda 2063 will be mainstreamed. Kenya has prepared its first report reviewing the implementation of the 2030 agenda for sustainable development.

This project is a strategic mechanism to examine the extent to which Kenya activities aimed at achieving the goals and targets set out in the SDGs include and consider people with disabilities and comply with its commitments under the CRPD. This is in line with WBU's priority of engaging with members, DPOs, international development organizations and other stakeholders to protect the human rights of blind and partially sighted persons to ensure that they are fully included in the national development agenda.

Expert consultant(s) will be assigned this project to ensure documentation of a well researched, authentic report on the current status of implementation of relevant SDGs in Kenya.
