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.

Best,

Bobby Williams

UN ECLAC
