Our commitment

This portal is designed to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA — the standard most governments hold their digital services to. That is a design target we build toward, not a formal certification; if you find a place where we miss it, we want to know.

What that looks like here

• Every chart (treemap, bar, composition, trend) has a full data table alongside it, so the same figures are available to anyone who cannot read a chart visually.
• Meaning is never carried by color alone — figures like a budget deficit or surplus are labelled in words, not just shown in a different color.
• Pages use one consistent heading structure so the page can be navigated by heading with a screen reader, not just by sight.
• Every interactive control — filters, chart-type toggles, category pickers — is a real button or link, reachable and operable by keyboard alone.
• Figures are read out in their full, exact form (e.g. “$1,400,000,000”), never abbreviated to something like “$1.4B” that reads ambiguously out loud.

Known limitations

Some charts are third-party interactive components; while the data table next to each one is the accessible source of truth, direct keyboard interaction with the chart itself (zooming, hovering a specific segment) is not fully equivalent to mouse use yet. We are working through these as they’re found.

Report a barrier

If any part of this site is hard to use with a screen reader, keyboard-only navigation, or any other assistive technology, please tell the Budget Directorate directly at budget@mof.gov.so. Describe the page and what happened — we read every report.
