Message From The Coordinator

Hello, and welcome to Gender and Disability Mainstreaming Department. The Nyeri National Polytechnic is very committed towards realizing inclusiveness, gender equality and disability friendly environment. The Polytechnic has also strived in ensuring student and staff with disability enjoy a barrier free environment by putting in place accessible toilets for PWD, ramps, accessible Polytechnic website where one can increase and decrease the font for the low vision, recruiting a sign language interpreter, clear signage and presenting information in a format which can be understood by all users. The various activities conducted by the department are aimed at creating awareness on gender and disability issues affecting students and staff such as sexual harassment, gender based violence and discrimination of people with disability.
