Introducing – DIGITAL FOR ALL
In a world that has embraced digital everything, accessibility remains the missing thread for many Kenyans. Digital services—from government portals to civic platforms—promise convenience and efficiency. Yet for Persons with Disabilities (PwD), those promises are not automatically turning into reality. At KOLLEA HUB, we believe storytelling is a powerful catalyst for change. Through DIGITAL FOR ALL, our new series, we lift voices, spotlight progress, and scrutinize gaps in digital inclusion for PwD across Kenya.
What DIGITAL FOR ALL aims to do
- Highlight inclusive digital design: examining whether government and private platforms are accessible to PwD, regardless of ability.
- Chronicle policy and practice: translating laws and initiatives into ground-level impact for PwD.
- Elevate PwD voices: centering stories from people with disabilities to humanize data and remind decision-makers that accessibility is lived experience.
- Foster practical solutions: showcasing best practices, innovations, and collaborations that advance real, usable access for PwD.
Why now, and why Kenya
In 2025 Kenya enacted the Persons with Disabilities Act 2025, recognizing that access to information and ICT is essential for education, employment, civic participation, and daily life. In the justice sector, a coalition of policymakers and technologists convened in August 2025 to chart an industry-wide roadmap for inclusive judiciary services, with implementation slated to begin in January 2026. The high-profile workshop that catalyzed this roadmap was funded by the UK Digital Access Programme (DAP).
What you’ll find in this series
- Policy milestones, legislative updates, and practical deployments of inclusive digital services for PwD.
- Case studies from government, civil society, and tech partners detailing what worked, what didn’t, and why.
- Personal narratives that reveal everyday realities of navigating digital systems with disabilities.
- Conversations about funding, training, disability awareness, and user-centered design in public and private sectors.
- Concrete recommendations for policymakers, service designers, educators, and community advocates aiming to close the digital divide for PwD.
As we launch DIGITAL FOR ALL, we invite readers to engage, question, and contribute. If you have an experience, project, or policy update related to digital inclusion for PwD, we want to hear from you. Our aim is to document and accelerate the journey toward equitable access by catalyzing dialogue and collaboration among citizens, government, and tech ecosystems.
Together, we can ensure that digital equality for PwD is not a slogan but a lived reality for all Kenyans. Welcome to DIGITAL FOR ALL.
