G3ict believes that governments at all levels and around the world can promote the digital inclusion of persons with disabilities and older persons by adopting effective policies for the public procurement of accessible ICT and an international accessibility standard to support them.
G3ict is an independent global nonprofit organization established in December 2006 through a collaborative effort among industry leaders, academia, the public sector, and organizations representing persons with disabilities, in cooperation with the United Nations Secretariat for the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).
Its mission is to build a global community to advance the fundamental human rights to digital access for persons with disabilities. G3ict fulfils this mission through advocacy programs and advisory services while its division, the International Association of Accessibility Professionals (IAAP), further supports the accessibility profession by offering educational resources, professional certifications, and networking opportunities.
G3ict relies on an international network of ICT accessibility experts to develop and promote good practices, technical resources and benchmarks for ICT accessibility advocates around the world. It is incorporated as a nonprofit organization in the State of Georgia, USA, and headquartered in Atlanta.
