Web Design/Development: Disability Data Hub Design and Development Support

UNDP works in 170 countries and territories to eradicate poverty while protecting the planet. We help countries develop strong policies, skills, partnerships and institutions so they can sustain their progress The primary and overarching objective of United Nations Development Programme in Kenya is the eradication of poverty in the context of sustainable development, including the pursuit of the Sustainable Development Goals, and promotion of United Nations fundamental principles. A core dimension to the work of UNDP in Kenya is on Democratic Governance given the national focus on governance reforms. UNDP supports the country’s efforts towards achieving the Vision 2030 Political Pillar, which envisions a democratic system that is issue-based, people-centered, results oriented and accountable to the public. This Political Pillar gears to transform the country’s political governance across five strategic areas; The Rule of Law, Electoral and Political Processes, Democracy and Public Service Delivery, Transparency and Accountability, Security Peace Building and Conflict Management. These strategic areas are anchored in the Constitution, promulgated in August 2010 marking a major milestone in the democratic journey of Kenya and set a new threshold in terms of people-centred development.

The Kenya Disability Inclusion Partnership (KDIP), co-chaired by the National Council for Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD), UNDP Kenya, and Inclusion Unfolding Africa, is developing a Disability Data Hub. This hub will serve as a centralized repository of disability-related data, policies, research, service directories, legislation, and toolkits. The hub will be hosted on the NCPWD website and designed to be accessible, user-friendly, and compliant with international accessibility standards (WCAG). It will provide policymakers, researchers, employers, and persons with disabilities with a one-stop platform for disability-related information in Kenya.

We are looking for one (1) Online Volunteer who, under the guidance of the KDIP Secretariat and in close collaboration with NCPWD’s ICT team, will design and develop the Disability Data Hub. In particular, the Online Volunteer is expected to: - Collaborate with KDIP partners to understand requirements and content categories. - Develop a prototype design/layout for the Disability Data Hub pages. - Integrate a Content Management System (CMS) to allow non-technical staff to update content. - Ensure compliance with web accessibility standards (WCAG). - Upload and organize initial content provided by KDIP partners. - Provide documentation and guidance for future updates. The design/layout should align with NCPWD’s corporate branding guidelines, which will be shared with the Online Volunteer in advance. The Online Volunteer will have the opportunity to work with KDIP partners and learn about how web design and accessibility can strengthen disability inclusion and visibility of successful interventions.
