There are over one billion persons with disability globally. This is
equivalent to 15% of a country’s population.
A very small number of persons with disability advocate for
accessibility in Internet governance fora. There is an obvious need for
more persons with lived experience of disability to become active
leaders in Internet governance.
This Disability Leadership Training project will build the capacity of
emerging leaders with a disability to become strong voices and engage in
policy development. Over the long term, it will mean that accessibility
is better recognised in the Internet community and action is taken for
increased inclusion.
The project combines face to face training workshops on a regional and
national scale with a soon to be developed online course on Internet
governance and digital rights based on a comprehensive course syllabus.
