Accessibility Statement

Last reviewed: 2026-05-15

The Ghana Integrated Gold Governance System (GIGGS) is committed to providing a service that is accessible to all members of the public, including those who rely on assistive technologies. This statement describes the standards we aim to meet, the current state of conformance, and the channels through which accessibility issues may be raised.

Conformance target

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, the standard recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium and widely adopted by national government services internationally. We work toward this standard on all public-facing surfaces of the platform — the landing page, the public licence verifier, the public statistics dashboard, and the published reports catalogue.

What we have done

Semantic HTML structure on all public pages.
Keyboard navigation supported throughout: every interactive element reachable via Tab and operable via Enter or Space.
Visible focus indicators on all interactive controls.
Colour contrast meets or exceeds the WCAG 2.1 AA threshold (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text).
Form fields have associated labels; error messages are programmatically announced.
Mobile-first responsive layout: pages reflow cleanly between 320 pixels and full desktop width.
Reduced-motion respect: where animations are present, they honour the operating-system "reduce motion" setting.

Known limitations

We are aware that the following areas require continuing improvement:

Certain administrative dashboards intended for authenticated staff use have not been fully audited for screen-reader compatibility.
The audit-chain explorer's data-dense tables would benefit from additional ARIA annotations for table semantics.
Some downloadable PDF reports do not yet have full tagged-PDF accessibility structure.

These items are tracked and addressed in scheduled releases.

Compatibility

GIGGS public pages are designed to work with current versions of:

Browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge (the two most recent major versions of each).
Screen readers: NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, TalkBack.
Operating systems: Windows 10/11, macOS 12+, iOS 15+, Android 11+.
