MANDATE In Kenya, Handicap International works to improve the living conditions of people with disabilities and advance their rights with a special focus on refugee-related issues. Working in Kenya since 1992, Handicap International currently employs 80 local staff and three expatriates. BACKGROUND Despite the post-electoral violence of 2007-2008, ...
In Dadaab there still lies a huge communication gap in terms of access to information by persons with hearing impairment. Equally, hearing persons have also faced similar challenge in communicating to persons with hearing impairment. This creates a barrier in promoting inclusive services and mainstreaming to persons with hearing impairment in most of programmatic activities and interventions by various organizations. It is this premise that necessitates the need to have a sign language consultant to conduct a two (2) weeks intensive training on sign language to the national staff of Handicap International, their partner organization staff together with refugee community staff, with the aim of improving their capacity in serving persons with hearing impairment in Dadaab refugee camps.
Beneficiary/Beneficiaries
The sign language training will target various agencies in Dadaab refugee camps including, Handicap International national staff as well as their refugee community staff. The various agencies will be invited to present a specified number of their staff for this training. All the staff trainees will be drawn from all the three camps (Ifo 1, Ifo2 and Dagahaley camps) in Dadaab.
Overall Goal: All Persons with hearing impairment in Dadaab refugee camps access humanitarian services free of communication barrier
