So true #AXSChat

A6 we need to ensure that skills development initiatives are accessible so that people with disabilities in Africa have the same opportunities to join the digital economy as their non-disabled peers. #AXSChat

A3: We can provide technical expertise to help enhance product user experience, support in packaging for scale as well as provide financing to help bring products to market #AXSChat

A4: International partnerships should amplify local leadership, not replace it. The best ones offer funding, tech, and policy support—while listening first. True impact comes from collaborating, not dictating. 🌍🤝 #AXSChat #AccessibilityAfrica #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs

A4: Sharing knowledge & best practices – some countries have decades of experience in accessibility. Opportunity for African countries to learn, adopt existing, and leapfrog with new innovations. Plus, ensure global accessibility policies extend to the African markets. #AXSChat

A1: We must ensure youth with disabilities in Africa have access to digital skills training. Digital literacy is fundamental to meaningful participation in today’s tech-driven world and key to unlocking opportunities in education, employment, and innovation #AXSChat
