Nepal Digital Accessibility Audit
A structured research concept for identifying and communicating preventable accessibility failures.
The problem
Essential digital services can exclude people when accessibility is not designed or tested deliberately.
Why it matters
A service is not genuinely digital public infrastructure if significant groups cannot use it independently and reliably.
What we know
- Accessibility standards provide testable criteria.
- Technical checks alone do not replace testing with people who encounter barriers.
What we don’t know yet
- Which services should be prioritized?
- What testing method is locally feasible?
- Which organizations are prepared to remediate findings?
Our approach
- 01
Define a transparent sampling method.
- 02
Combine standards-based review with user involvement.
- 03
Publish limitations and actionable findings.

Expected outputs
- Validated methodology
- Pilot audit documentation
- Public report when evidence exists
Risks under consideration
- Testing without sufficient lived-experience participation
- Publishing findings without a remediation pathway
Assumptions to test
- Selected organizations will engage with actionable findings
Financial transparency
Budget under development.
Funding not yet opened.
What support could enable

How we will measure
No results are claimed yet. Measures will be defined before implementation and published when verified.
Evidence
Evidence and supporting documents will be linked here when they exist.
What we will report
For every funded project, SEED SURE aims to report what was promised, funded, done, changed and spent; what did not work; what was learned; and what happens next.
Reporting remains subject to privacy, safeguarding, contractual and legal requirements.
