The Ministry of Transport, Communications, and Information Technology, through the National Programme for Government Digital Transformation “Tahawul,” launched the Digital Accessibility Guide. This initiative aims to improve digital inclusion, ensuring that all services, including mobile apps and websites, are accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities and the elderly.
The guide is designed to assist mobile app and website developers in adopting best practices for digital accessibility. It encourages institutions to create applications and websites that meet accessibility standards, reducing costs associated with making modifications later.
Targeted at mobile app and website development teams across both the public and private sectors, the guide serves as a valuable resource for project managers, user experience and interface designers, software developers, digital content writers, accessibility specialists, and quality engineers. Additionally, it provides guidance for application owners and stakeholders involved in digital accessibility for people with disabilities, senior management, and decision-makers.
The guide offers step-by-step instructions on how developers can achieve digital accessibility and how to measure the accessibility levels of their applications and websites.
