#KeIGF2024 : Digital Creative Industries: AI & Film
Considering online accessibility, ability for PLWDs to navigate web places,
we need website owners to consider adding accessibility functionalities on
their webpages. From screen reading, voice navigation, contrast, dyslexia
friendliness, text transformations etc based on accessibility profiles of
users. This aligns to and helps stay ahead of global accessibility laws and
best practices.
Do we have a digital accessibility policy/regulations/laws in Kenya?
