| dc.description.abstract | The World Wide Web, also commonly known as the “web”, has become an integral part of everyone’s daily life. Yet, it is still inaccessible in many ways for different web users. People with disabilities are found most affected by barriers in websites and other web services. In a similar context, this report aims to study the web accessibility issues for people with disabilities as fieldwork in Mozambique and reviews the factors that contribute to it. The case study is based on the results from 3 perspectives: first, automatic evaluation of five prominent national websites, second, user testing and interacting with people with disabilities, and third, interviewing and interacting with web employees in Mozambique. The study found that none of the websites are WCAG 2.1 compatible. Most of the users (people with disabilities) have limited experience using the web and very few of them use assistive technology. The web employees, in general, do not practice web accessibility in the products. The underlying factors responsible for web inaccessibility are found out to be extrinsic and are discussed in the report. | en |
