"Inclusion International (II) and the Kenyan Association for the Intellectually Handicapped (KAIH) regret to announce that we have been forced to cancel the 16th World Congress of Inclusion International in Nairobi. The recent attacks on May 17th have increased concerns of delegates regarding safety and there have been many cancellations, the result being that the event is not viable. The Officers and Board of II and KAIH do not take this decision lightly as we have been committed to supporting people with intellectual disabilities and their families in Kenya and throughout Africa. (...)"

"Inclusion International and KAIH (Kenya Association for the Intellectually Handicapped) are pleased to invite you to join families, self-advocates, disability rights activists and professionals on 10 – 13, June 2014, in Nairobi, Kenya, for Inclusion International’s 16th World Congress, and contribute to the dialogue on building A Better World for ALL. (...)

Focused pre-conference events and sessions will explore:
- Leaders for Change – renewing the family and self-advocate leadership in our movement;
- Partners for Change – strengthening partnerships with other disability groups, governments and policy makers; and
- Practices for Change – exchanging good practices in different countries/communities" [Abstract: Site editor’s information]
