I need global data for all countries measuring their accessibility rank. Accessibility ranking is based on a measure evaluating how the government is serving people with special needs.It might be a private/public/NGO related measure. More data sources will be appreciated
Emad, we will have a free open government course at EDX and those thematics will be explored.
Just have to register at this link: https://www.edx.org/course/open-government-delftx-og101x
I invite you to watch the informative video of the course: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93BzVj_-7vo&feature=youtu.be
For those who do not have good level of English, there will be subtitles in English to help in translation.
dear Ricardo, thanks for the offer, I registered.. Hope I will not miss the times... If all material will be archived it would be nice. Still, I need data on accessibility, the course is in March... and I don't know if they have such resource..
Emad,
Wonderful topic. I'm not sure if the following would be helpful but you could always contact them directly to see if they have data you could draw upon. The global features of the group are unique in the field.
Also, the WHO has a disabilities report and additional information. You've likely seen that but it might be helpful if you haven't.
Best of luck with this worthy project,
Karla

Emad, I know that in Brazil the W3C.br and ceweb.br is constantly doing this research. But it is in portuguese! http://www.cgi.br/publicacao/censo-da-web-br-dimensoes-e-caracteristicas-da-web-brasileira-um-estudo-do-gov-br/
If You need any help, please contact me inbox.
Reading the test on Brazil my translation on the page 50 of the report I sent You aforementioned: "From the 6,5 million websites 98% HAS NO any kind of adherence of acessibility patterns (WCAG 2.0)" Dos 6,3 milhões de páginas HTML coletadas, 98% não apresentaram nenhuma aderência aos padrões de acessibilidade
Dear Karla:
Thanks for the links, I guess I will benefit from them,.
Dear Ricardo: guess you are right, as my research on digital divide shows that most countries suffer from deficiencies in this area specially gender digital divide. I guess we are focusing more on accessibility issues and trying to relate that to other issues.
Appreciate your contributions here
