Commcare accessibility - WCAG 2.1 AA compliance

Users

Hi,

What is the current Commcare status related to WCAG 2.1 AA compliance?

Have you heard about any government regulations that require such compliance?

Regards,

Jakub.

Hi Jakub,

Dimagi is committed to continuously improving the accessibility of our product. While there is no formal “seal of approval” we work to align with WCAG 2.1 levels A and AA guidelines and standards. To my knowledge, we haven’t encountered any group requiring strict WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, but this is assessed separately based on the needs of the partner.

I hope this helps!

Best,

Kaleb

Thank you for that information, very helpful and it confirmed what I thought.

I will probably get back with this topic very soon, as we are helping many DPGs with elevating their level of accessibility. Stay tuned!

Regards,

Jakub.

Hi Kaleb,

Sorry for the late reply, but finally we managed to take a look at the commcare login page.

I attached the short summary of the report. It seems there is some room for improvement.

Anyone interested to see the full report?
