Ukrainian IT specialist Anna Krys and her team have developed PROVIDNYK, an interactive map to help people with limited mobility to live fuller and more active lives. The innovation was recognised with an award from the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Facility (eapcivilsociety.eu/).
The current mobility solutions in Ukraine exclude people with limited mobility from society and political processes. According to Anna, 90% of ramps are installed incorrectly; Ukrainian public transport is not designed for people with limited mobility and some businesses are designing and constructing seemingly inclusive sites for their own sake without realising the possible risks of injury.
Frustrated with existing obstacles to mobility, she decided to change things: "I wanted to create a map that would not only mark accessible and inclusive infrastructure but also consolidate society so that all people could engage with the map," she explained.
