In two words?  "Accessible Desktop".  :o)

In a few more words: It's an API that will allow assistive technologies
such as screenreaders, speech input and output, screen magnifiers and
braille output devices to work with GNOME applications (and non-GNOME
applications too).

If you want even more words, check out the GNOME Accessibility Project
website at http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gap.

Cheeri,
Calum.
