Alert: Launch of Accessibility of Government websites for Persons with Disability Scorecard
Dear Listers, KICTANet, through the ICT Access and Equality for Persons with Disability program, has conducted research on the accessibility of government websites for persons with disabilities, and a scorecard was developed. The launch of the report will be on 18th May 2023 from 0800 to 1400 hours EAT. Participants at the event will be drawn from the government, technical community, data protection officers, media, digital rights activists, and academia. The aim of this meeting is to launch the research and set the next priority agenda for ICT and inclusion in public services. To attend online, please register through our Zoom registration page. https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAvduupqjovHNDQsIi4Dwb0MsEpwcritM1...
This is good news. Given that most government's websites have very poor usability, I wonder how they fair on the accessibility scale. On Wed, 17 May 2023, 09:25 David Indeje via KICTANet, < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

I think the websites are not only unusable to PWDs but even all other segments. Can one read the report beforehand? On Wed, May 17, 2023 at 9:30 AM GATHARIKI NGIGI via KICTANet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:
