Designing Accessible User Interfaces for Low-Literacy Populations in Zambian Contexts

"background": "Low-literacy populations in Zambia face significant challenges accessing digital services effectively.

", "findings": "Users preferred visual over text-based interfaces in 85% of cases tested (n=200), indicating a clear preference for non-verbal cues. ", "conclusion": "The design guidelines developed will enhance digital accessibility for Zambian low-literacy populations, improving service uptake and user satisfaction.
