Global Initiative for Inclusive ICTs

Global Initiative for Inclusive ICTs

G3ict – the Global Initiative for Inclusive Information and Communication Technologies – is an advocacy initiative launched in December 2006 in cooperation with the Secretariat for the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities at UN DESA. Its mission is to facilitate and support the implementation of the dispositions of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities on the accessibility of Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) and assistive technologies. G3ict relies on an international network of ICT accessibility experts to develop and promote good practices, technical resources and benchmarks for ICT accessibility advocates around the world.  It is incorporated as a nonprofit organization in the State of Georgia, USA, and works in close cooperation with UN agencies, organizations of persons with disabilities and the private sector.  G3ict cooperated with UNESCO to design and develop the model policy published by UNESCO in 2014 on "Inclusive ICTs for Education".
