| Expected output |
It is proposed that the Question for study should:
• provide telecommunication/ICT accessibility training to stakeholders, especially policy-makers, on how to engage all national and/or regional stakeholders and share good practices and success stories on the implementation of ICT accessibility policies, regulatory frameworks and services;
• result in a report that identifies good commercial and governmental practices that will support Member States, especially developing1 and least developed countries (LDCs), in establishing and implementing policies, legal frameworks and strategies on accessible telecommunications/ICTs for persons with disabilities and persons with specific needs
The report should:
a) share members’ good practices and case studies on how to create political will as a cornerstone for implementing national ICT accessibility policies and strategies to improve the accessibility, compatibility and usability of telecommunication/ICT services;

c) highlight ITU products and services available to the members to empower national stakeholders in providing, in particular, the ITU Telecommunication Development Sector (ITU-D) training on web accessibility (accessible content and accessible websites), with the aim of ensuring that public government websites are accessible to all;
d) identify suitable promotion and dissemination mechanisms, including business models, to ensure that persons with disabilities are aware of and are able to use and be empowered by accessible telecommunications/ICTs;
e) identify mechanisms for the use of telecommunications/ICTs to promote the employment of persons with disabilities, including telework;
f) identify methodologies that make it possible to compile telecommunication/ICT statistics focused on users with disabilities, in order to monitor the impact of the implementation of ICT accessibility policies, practices and technological solutions.
