About Us

In June 2014 WIPO and a group of key partners launched the Accessible Books Consortium (ABC) to boost the number of books in accessible formats for people around the globe who are blind, visually impaired, or otherwise print disabled.

The ABC secretariat is located at WIPO’s headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. ABC has an advisory board that provides technical expertise, ensures transparency and efficient communication with the stakeholder community.
