Accessibility for government and international organisations

We have been working with barrier-free access since 2019. We help businesses, communities and the state become accessible to all.

Barrier-free accessibility is a priority issue for Ukraine today. Because of the war, there is a growing need to create an environment where everyone, regardless of their physical abilities, can live and work to the fullest.

Ukraine needs a lot of system changes, and our team understands how difficult it is to implement them. Big City Lab is a reliable executive partner for the government and international organisations in barrier-free projects

Usually, ministries do not have the resources to do:

Development of systematic guidelines and instructions for implementing barrier-free programmes that could be distributed to communities
Conduct research that can be used to form policies and make decisions
Implementation of adopted policies related to accessibility

Existing issues:

How to make accessibility projects sustainable and systemic?
How can information about the standards for implementing barrier-free solutions be spread quickly and effectively?
How to develop solutions that can be scaled up at the national level?
How to communicate about accessibility projects?
Where to find a permanent partner who can take on a large amount of work and has a sufficiently large number of specialists in the team who understand the topic of accessibility at the level of policy and architectural solutions?
