Accessibility statement

This accessibility statement applies to the Finnish University Partnership for International Development (UniPID) website, www.unipid.fi. This statement was prepared on 12 November 2026. The accessibility of the website has been assessed internally.

Accessibility status of the website

The website is partially compliant with the accessibility requirements. The website does not yet meet all applicable accessibility requirements. The known accessibility issues are described below.

Non-accessible content

Colour contrast

Some text and/or user interface components on the website do not have sufficient colour contrast against their background. This may make the content difficult to perceive for users with low vision or colour vision deficiencies.

Accessibility requirements not met:

  • WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum)
  • WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.11 Non-text Contrast, where applicable

Keyboard focus

When navigating the website using a keyboard, the keyboard focus indicator is not sufficiently visible in all situations. This can make it difficult for keyboard users to identify which element currently has focus.

Accessibility requirement not met:

  • WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.4.7 Focus Visible

Other accessibility issues

  • Decorative images and icons are not always properly hidden from assistive technologies: Some decorative images and icons used for visual presentation may be announced by screen readers, even though they do not convey meaningful information. In some cases, images with empty alternative text contain title attributes that may be read by assistive technologies.
  • Duplicate ID attributes: Some pages contain elements with duplicate ID attributes. This may prevent assistive technologies from correctly associating labels, controls, and content, potentially causing navigation and interpretation issues for users of screen readers.
  • Invalid ARIA attributes and values: Some elements use ARIA attributes that are incomplete, incorrectly formatted, or contain invalid values. This may reduce compatibility with assistive technologies and affect the accessibility of interactive components.
  • Missing or inconsistent heading structure: Some pages do not contain a level-one heading (H1), or heading levels do not follow a logical hierarchy. This may make it more difficult for users of assistive technologies to understand the structure of the content and navigate efficiently.
  • Missing page titles: Some pages do not have a descriptive title element or contain an empty page title. Page titles help users understand the content and purpose of a webpage when navigating between pages and browser tabs.
  • Viewport settings may restrict zooming: Some pages use viewport settings that may limit users' ability to zoom content. Users with low vision may rely on browser zoom functionality to access content.

Content not within the scope of the accessibility legislation

Some content on the website may be excluded from the accessibility requirements under the applicable legislation. This includes office documents published before 23 September 2018, videos and audio recordings published before 23 September 2020, and archived web content.

Measures to improve accessibility

UniPID is committed to improving the accessibility of its digital services. The accessibility issues identified during the assessment will be addressed during the next website maintenance and development cycle. The identified issues related to colour contrast, keyboard focus visibility, decorative content, heading structure, ARIA implementation, page titles, and duplicate ID attributes are planned to be corrected during 2027. The accessibility statement will be reviewed once the corrective measures have been implemented.
