Context

Numé-Raï pairs digital-skills training with disability inclusion in New Caledonia, run by the OPEN NC digital-sector cluster with the Collectif Handicaps Nouvelle-Calédonie coalition and funded through Fondation Afnic's 2025 call for projects, comprising 35 workshops across 9 municipalities targeting 500 participants over 18 months, with half explicitly people with disabilities.

Results

A companion 2024 accessibility scan by the Collectif Handicaps of roughly 2,000 Caledonian websites found 99% had at least one accessibility alert, 91% at least one error, and 88% at least one contrast problem, the baseline motivating the programme's accessible-content design.
