Evidence snapshot for Addis Ababa
Addis Ababa's Adaptive Technology Center for the Blind has trained over 200 visually impaired people in basic computer skills and converted over 2,000 textbooks into Braille since its 2003 launch by ITU and UNESCO, graduating an average of 25 students annually from its Pioneer Collegiate programme since 2008. The Centre provides adaptive technology resources including braille embossers, voice synthesizers, and text-to-speech software, and sustains part of its operations through user fees and Braille-publication sales. The practices in the CONTEXT do not quantify broader digital inclusion outcomes across Addis Ababa or measure employment or economic impact of the Centre's training.
