This paper explores and investigates the mobile web accessibility readiness of governments of various countries by evaluating their public institutions' websites in various domains categorised by development index as obtained from the United Nation report (WESP, 2014) on the basis of mobile web best practices (MWBP, 2008) and also propose a framework for evaluating the level of mobile web accessibility. The results show that only 0.03% of government websites comes close to adhere to mobile web best practices (MWBP) guidelines with compliant rate greater than 80%.
