It aims to enhance digital inclusivity and ensure the accessibility and availability of services to all segments of society, including people with disabilities and the elderly, and to assist mobile app and website developers in working in a way that guarantees all beneficiaries can access and benefit from their applications by applying digital accessibility principles. The guide also focuses on enabling institutions to design applications and websites that comply with digital accessibility principles to reduce costs associated with accessibility modifications later on.

Key Points:

• Who it’s for: Developers, designers, project managers, decision makers, and accessibility specialists.
• Main Goals: Equal access, inclusion, usability, and compliance with global standards (WCAG 2.1).
• For Mobile Apps: Use alternative text, avoid color-only cues, ensure readable labels, proper button sizes, simple gestures, system components, clear language, and accessible UI.
• For Websites: Provide text alternatives, captions, multiple sensory options, semantic structure, easy navigation, clear link texts, form guidance, keyboard support, visual contrast, and control over time, text size, and multimedia.
• Testing: Automated tools (e.g., Accessibility Scanner, Lighthouse) + real user testing with people with disabilities.

Overall: A roadmap for developers to create accessible, user-friendly apps and websites that support inclusion and comply with international standards.
