With seed-funding received from the UNICEF Innovation Fund we were able to start working on the development and testing of an accessible digital textbook in Kenya. Due to existing investment by the Government of Kenya in procuring digital devices and a request for support for the development of accessible digital content as well as a supportive policy environment in form of the new Ministry of Education (Sector Policy for Learners and Trainees with Disabilities) UNICEF Kenya was able to successfully collaborate across the public and private sector and actively involved UNICEF colleagues from different offices, making important collaboration possible, paving the way for similar projects around the globe.
Consequently, with additional resources received from the Finnish National Committee for UNICEF, through a shared-value partnership with Nokia, we were able to test the textbook in a wider range of schools, to work towards increasing learning outcomes for all children, including the most marginalized, using innovative digital solutions.
