CSA, Others, commit to Digital Accessibility and Inclusion for Persons with Disabilities

The Cyber Security Authority (CSA) has renewed its commitment to promote a secure, accessible, and inclusive digital environment for all individuals to participate safely.

The CSA on 21st October 2026 in Accra, participated in a validation programme on Digital Accessibility and Inclusion for Persons with Disabilities, organised by Ghana's National Council for Persons with Disability.

The programme brought together representatives from government institutions, private-sector organisations, civil society organisations, Organisations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs), and other stakeholders to discuss digital accessibility gaps and ways to promote inclusive digital transformation in Ghana.

The stakeholders validated findings from earlier training and audits conducted under a Collaboration on International ICT Policy for East and Southern Africa (CIPESA) project. They also deliberated on the technical and legal challenges affecting digital accessibility and identified practical measures to improve access to digital platforms and services for persons with disabilities.

They agreed to establish a working group to provide a collaborative framework for advancing digital accessibility initiatives and developing a national digital accessibility standard to guide institutions in designing, developing, and maintaining accessible digital platforms and services.
