The objective of the “Web Accessibility for People with Disabilities in Georgia” project is to make specific recommendations for the improvement of web accessibility for People with Disabilities (PwDs) and make government online content, websites, apps, and services easier to use for all Georgians. The findings of this survey will be used to formulate the project’s recommendations and facilitate Georgia’s commitments to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The recommendations are to be submitted to the Parliament of Georgia, the Government of Georgia, and key civil society organisations.
