The Ministry of Transport, Communications, and Information Technology in Oman has introduced the Digital Accessibility Guide Oman, an initiative aimed at promoting digital inclusion. This guide is geared towards ensuring that all digital services are accessible to everyone, particularly individuals with disabilities and the elderly, according to the Oman News Agency. The guide is part of the National Program for Government Digital Transformation (Tahawul).

The Digital Accessibility Guide Oman is designed to assist mobile application and website developers in implementing practices that allow all users to access and benefit from their services. It stresses the importance of adopting digital accessibility principles, which can help developers create more inclusive digital environments and reduce costs associated with making later modifications for accessibility.

Targeting public and private sectors, the guide focuses on development teams including project managers, user experience designers, software developers, and digital content writers. It also serves as a resource for application owners and stakeholders who are committed to enhancing digital accessibility for people with disabilities, senior management, and decision-makers.

In addition, the guide provides a comprehensive set of instructions to help developers achieve digital accessibility in their mobile applications and websites. It outlines methodologies for measuring accessibility levels, ensuring that all digital platforms effectively meet the diverse needs of the community.
