_______________________________________________Dear Listers,
Welcome to day 3 of our online moderated #KeIGF2024 conversation.
Today's discussion is about Bridging the Digital Divide when it comes to digital inclusion and accessibility for PWDs and underserved communities.If you are part of a PWD or underserved community, what are the biggest challenges you face in accessing the internet?
- How can we raise awareness among policymakers and stakeholders about the specific needs of PWDs and underserved communities regarding internet access?
- What innovative solutions can bridge the affordability gap for internet access, devices, and assistive technologies for these groups?
- How can we incentivize infrastructure development in underserved areas to ensure wider internet coverage?
- How can we encourage the development and adoption of accessible online content and interfaces?
- What steps can be taken to improve digital literacy programs and resources in underserved communities?
- How can we guarantee the long-term sustainability of support funds like USF to ensure continued investment in digital inclusion initiatives?
If you are working on digital inclusion initiatives, what successful models or approaches can you share?--Kind Regards,+254 (0) 711 385 945 | +254 (0) 734 024 856
