Accessibility Status in the Arab Region

The technological revolution and digital opportunity have had a major impact on many Arab countries. Most of these countries have adopted ambitious plans to move towards a digital and knowledge base economy. This achievement is mirrored by the increase in Internet penetration with broadband connectivity and the upsurge in the use of smart phones. E-government programs in many countries (mainly GCC Countries) have a world class maturity level in providing e-services that are accessible to all citizens including those with special needs and disabilities.
