Universal Accessibility Hub

UA Hub works through collaboration with the public and private sectors to ensure accessibility for people with all forms of disabilities. Sustainable development nationally and globally is driven by inclusive participation regardless of gender, race, disability and age. The South African constitution’s founding provisions highlight values of human dignity, equality and human rights and freedom. To realise the ideal of universal access it is necessary to address the barriers experienced by those left out or left behind.

UA HUB contributes to the deliverables as set out by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and South Africa’s National Development Plan (NDP) with regard to the rights of persons with disabilities.
