Sustainable Development

Assistive Technology (AT) can enable people to live healthy, productive, independent, and dignified lives, and to participate in education, the labour market and their communities. Today, over 1 billion people need at least one type of AT, but over 90% do not have access to it.

Together we can change that!

ATscale, the Global Partnership for Assistive Technology is organizing this online event on 14 January 2022 from 2-5 pm CET with key partners. This will feed into the second Global Disability Summit, taking place later in February. 

Why should you be there? Whether you are already an active partner in this area or newly interested, your participation is key. Together we will hear from and discuss with people who use Assistive Technology, Organizations of People with Disabilities, Governments from the Global South and North, Multilateral partners as well as the Private Sector. We will take stock of progress on increasing access to affordable and appropriate AT and discuss the need to renew and increase our commitments.

ATscale and its partners, including WHO, UNICEF, the International Disability Alliance (IDA), Norad, USAID, UKFCDO, GDI Hub, GAATO and CHAI look forward to your participation.
