ICT for persons with disabilities
Description
ICT for Persons with Disabilities Observatory is a comprehensive web and mobile-based system designed to promote digital inclusion and empower persons with disabilities (PWDs) through the strategic use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The platform serves as a centralized hub for managing PWD data, connecting stakeholders, and providing critical services and opportunities tailored to the needs of the disability community.
Impact
The ICT for Persons with Disabilities Observatory has significantly enhanced social and economic inclusion by bridging digital gaps and empowering Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) to actively participate in education, employment, and community development. By centralizing data and services, the platform enables access to opportunities, skills development, and assistive technologies that improve livelihoods and independence. It also strengthens coordination among government, private, and civil society actors, ensuring efficient service delivery and data-driven policymaking. Through digital visibility and connectivity, the Observatory promotes dignity, self-advocacy, and equal participation, ultimately fostering economic empowerment and a more inclusive society.
Target Audience
The main beneficiaries of the ICT for Persons with Disabilities Observatory are Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), who gain improved access to information, digital skills, services, and economic opportunities that enhance their inclusion and empowerment. Additional beneficiaries include government institutions (for data-driven planning and policy implementation), organizations of persons with disabilities (OPDs) and civil society organizations (for coordination and advocacy), service providers and employers (who can easily identify and engage PWDs), as well as development partners and researchers (who utilize reliable data for program design, monitoring, and evaluation). Collectively, these stakeholders benefit from a more connected, inclusive, and informed disability ecosystem.
