The Access to Government Procurement Opportunities (AGPO) program is an affirmative action initiative by the Government of Kenya. It reserves 30% of all public procurement contracts for enterprises owned by youth, women, and persons with disabilities. This aims to economically empower these groups by allowing them to supply goods, services, and works to the government without competing directly with larger, established companies .
It is a legal requirement. The program is mandated by the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act (PPADA), 2015 and the Constitution of Kenya (Articles 227 and 55) to ensure fair and equitable access to public tenders .
Testimonials
“Mary, a woman with physical disability, was excluded from her local VSLA group. With DASK’s economic empowerment program (KCDF P4C grant), she received KSh 10,000 startup capital and business training. Today, Mary runs a successful vegetable stall and employs two other PWDs. "Donors made this possible. Thank you." .”
“My daughter is back in school-Peter’s 12-year-old daughter with hearing impairment had dropped out due to fees. A DASK donation of KSh 5,000 (school fees + uniform) and placement follow-up brought her back. She now ranks top 3 in her class.”
“Justice was served-Grace, a woman with albinism, faced workplace discrimination. DASK’s paralegal (supported by NextGen Lawyers) accompanied her to court. She won her case and received compensation.”
“I am the mother of Alex and John. Both of my boys have severe disabilities. For years, I cried alone. People said I was cursed. I believed them.DASK gave me back my hope and my village. I understand my children now. I love them without shame”
“I am old. My brother is old. For many years, we sat under this tree with nothing. No one came. No one asked if we were alive. Then DASK came. They held our hands. They took us to offices. They spoke for us when our voices were too tired to speak. Now? Now I have a National ID. I have a disability card. And every month, the government sends us something.”
“My name is Ray Soo Mutua. I come from Makueni County. I always wanted to go to secondary school. But I was not sure it would ever happen.When DASK told me I was going to Mukaa Boys, I did not believe it at first. I thought maybe it was a mistake. But they came to my home. They talked to my parents. They paid my fees. They bought my uniform. And they did not stop there — they kept checking on me. Now I am in school. I am learning. I have friends. I have hope.”
