The National Strategy for Persons with Disabilities in Jordan is a comprehensive initiative to improve the quality of life for individuals with diverse abilities. The strategy aligns with international accessibility standards, including WCAG 2.1, to ensure that digital platforms, websites, and services are accessible to all users, including those who rely on assistive technologies. The strategy sets out clear guidelines for both public and private sectors to follow in making their digital content and services more inclusive.

The National Strategy mandates that digital platforms, including websites, apps, and online services, comply with WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines. This includes providing text alternatives for non-text content, ensuring websites are operable by keyboard, ensuring content is readable with adequate contrast, and making multimedia content accessible with captions and transcripts. The strategy also emphasizes the need for compatibility with assistive technologies to provide a fully inclusive digital experience.

The National Strategy for Persons with Disabilities applies to all government agencies, public sector organizations, and private companies that provide services to the public in Jordan. These organizations are required to make their digital platforms accessible and inclusive to meet the needs of people with diverse abilities.
