This technical note covers various accessibility barriers, recommendations, methodologies, and strategies, with a particular focus on persons with disabilities. As the document notes, it  accessibility is a universal issue and as such concerns a much larger population and intersects with other identities, including those of children, older persons, persons who have terminal or transient illnesses/diseases, women and girls, Indigenous Peoples, youth, sexual and gender minorities, people with temporary injuries, and mothers/fathers/caregivers using strollers and other supportive devices to carry their children. The technical note was designed for for World Bank Task Team Leaders, Project Implementing Units, and Environmental & Social specialists, however it can also be drawn upon by anybody working on accessibility issues in the private sector, the procurement sector, development practitioners, nongovernmental organisations, and organisations of persons with disabilities.
