\n To achieve digital accessibility, ICTs should be not only be available and affordable, but also accessible, which means designed to meet the needs and abilities of all people\u00a0\u2013 including those with disabilities. Adopting an intersectional approach, the Telecommunication Development Bureau’s\u00a0ICT\/digital accessibility work encompasses key\u00a0activities, events, tools, and resources to strengthen capacities and enhance inclusive communication, building a prosperous digital future for all. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n

ITU is fully committed to supporting our members\u2019 efforts in implementing ICT accessibility policies and strategies around the world, so that everyone, regardless of age, gender, ability or geographical location, is equally and equitably included in digital societies, economies and environments. In line with the Kigali Action Plan, in which ITU members recognized that available, affordable and accessible ICTs are powerful drivers for inclusive development, my vision as Director  is to ensure that we impact people\u2019s lives through digital development by building a more inclusive, meaningful and connected world for all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
