Design process of the national e-accessibility policy template

While the national e-accessibility policy template was formulated on the basis of best practices in the Arab region and worldwide, it also takes account of national characteristics that have contributed to the success of those practices, either because of a given country’s particular current circumstances or as a result of its financial or human capacity. Policymakers should, therefore, keep those factors in mind when applying the template to their national contexts, each of which has its own specific circumstances and requirements.

The national e-accessibility policy template for the Arab region has been put together by examining components of Arab e-accessibility initiatives that best suit the characteristics of this region. Components from initiatives outside the region are not disregarded, but rather compared and contrasted to identify the most appropriate measures to include in national e-accessibility policies.
