ICT & Digital Accessibility for the BOS

This Practice Note supports the implementation of the ICT-Digital Accessibility Common Services for UNCTs to lead by example and encourage transformation and the birth of a new inclusive reality that equalizes social and economic opportunities.  

The Common Services outlines three areas where ICT/Digital accessibility must be taken into account by UNCTs:  

• Mainstream software used in the day-to-day office work, including video conference platforms to ensure they are accessible and have embedded accessibility features 
• Content created or procured in digital formats and published on the country website by the UNCT must be accessible
• Countries' websites are developed or procured by the UNCT to be accessible and comply with the WCAG 2.1 for an AA compliance level
