There is growing concern that critical messages about #COVID19 being disseminated by health authorities, telecom companies, & broadcasters are NOT reaching persons with visual and hearing impairments.👉🏾 bit.ly/2yXQecR

The workshop compliments the government's agenda on digital accessibility to PWDs. Specifically, national and international laws and instruments on disability and accessibility. - PS @Tybisa, Min of ICT Uganda #ICTAccessibility
Today we host a workshop on Digital Accessibility for #PersonsWithDisabilities in #Uganda. Research shows that this is a community that is often least likely to access the related devices particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Lack of disaggregated data on extent of use of ICTs by PWDs severely affects efforts to improve access to appropriate services, information and resources #DigitalAccesibility4PWDsUG

Attn Banks!
How do the people affected with dwarfism access ATMs taller than them?
The touch screen atms are extremely unfriendly for PWDs.
ATM is out of service, a visually impaired person will go stand for a long time oblivious of this. Where is help?
