The United Nations and its partners released a report that illustrates the importance of information and communication technologies (ICTs) is helping persons with disabilities gain access to resources.

The report, “The ICT Opportunity for a Disability-Inclusive Development Framework,” is the result of feedback from a global consultation that occurred early this year in support of the preparatory process for the High-Level Meeting on Disability and Development (HLMDD), which took place at the UN Headquarters on the 23rd.

It highlights challenges that are still to be addressed and outlines concrete action that will help achieve a disability-inclusive development agenda.
