The public Participation Project is a two-year project that seeks to develop and pilot a Public Participation Disability Inclusion Index (PPDII) for public entities in Kenya using a collaborative Social Design process.

The Index is a tool that benchmarks existing programs against best practices for promoting the participation of PWDs in Governance processes. The Social Design Lab brings together diverse stakeholders to develop, test document and scale up the use of the Index. The learning and sharing project seeks to design, test and document experiences gained from the deployment of the Index.

The Social Innovation Lab Project (SILP) for Youth with Mental and Intellectual Disabilities is a two-year project that aims to prototype, test, document and learn how peer-to-peer support networks, dual employment and co-designed inclusive learning and working spaces can be applied to solve the training and employment dilemma facing youths with mental and intellectual disabilities in Kenya.
