Sightsavers is an international charity working in Kenya to eliminate avoidable blindness and promote the rights of people with disabilities. We are seeking a Consultant Legal Researcher to prepare an initial assessment of the legal framework on the rights to equality and non-discrimination in employment, and its enforcement and implementation, for our new Global Labor Program – Inclusive Futures.
Background
One of the program’s four focus areas is on the improvement of the legal, enforcement and institutional frameworks governing access to, and participation in, work by people with disabilities. The partners intend to employ a participatory and collaborative approach to engagement on these issues. Our focus is on building consensus between rights holders, duty bearers, and government through sharing evidence and co-creation of legislative and policy solutions. As a first step, we intend to develop a robust and comprehensive evidence base on the current legal framework and its enforcement and implementation.
To support this activity, Sightsavers and its consortium partners are seeking a Consultant Legal Researcher to undertake a comprehensive analysis of Kenya’s legal framework on equality and non-discrimination. This will build an evidence base on the gaps, problems, inconsistencies, and obstacles which prevent people with disabilities from enjoying their right to work.
