Universal Service Fund (USF) and ICT for Persons with Disabilities ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Bobby Williams" <robert.williams@eclac.org> Date: 13/10/2016 12:29 am Subject: [civic] Call for input: USFs and ICT for Persons with Disabilities To: "Caribbean ICT stakeholders Virtual Community (CIVIC)" < civic@dgroups.org> Cc: Dear CIVIC, ECLAC is currently working on a paper on the topic of ICT for Persons with Disabilities in Latin America and the Caribbean. To that end, we would be grateful for any input, resources, or opinions you could share on this topic, particularly in relation to Universal Service Funds (USFs). Specifically: · Is anyone aware of any cases in which projects to support the accessible use of ICTs by disabled persons have been financed through Universal Service Funds? · Is anyone aware of any examples in which limitations on the use of Universal Service Funds preclude or frustrate their use in supporting accessibility-related projects? More generally, we are also interest in hearing about any experiences with the implementation of projects focused on the use of ICT to support persons with disabilities, or on efforts to enable broader access to ICT for persons with disabilities.
