Digital Accessibility
To achieve digital accessibility, ICTs should not only be available and affordable, but also accessible, which means designed to meet the needs and abilities of all people – including those with disabilities. Adopting an intersectional approach, the Telecommunication Development Bureau’s ICT/digital accessibility work encompasses key activities, events, tools, and resources to strengthen capacities and enhance inclusive communication, building a prosperous digital future for all.
Our commitment continues simultaneously with engagement in joint UN efforts and relevant initiatives
