ATscale Global Partnership

Together, transforming lives through Assistive Technology

Assistive Technology (AT) enables people to live healthier, more productive, independent, and more dignified lives than before and to participate in education, the labour market, and their communities.

Today, 2.5 billion people globally need to use at least one type of AT, such as wheelchairs, hearing aids, prostheses, eyeglasses or digital services.

In low-income countries only 10% of people have the AT they need, in stark contrast to the 90% of people in need in high-income countries who do.

ATscale, the Global Partnership for Assistive Technology (AT), is a cross-sector global partnership with a mission to transform people’s lives through AT. It catalyzes action to ensure that, by 2030, an additional 500 million people in low- and middle-income countries get the life-changing AT they need.

2022 - A Year in Review

2022 marked ATscale's first year of full operations and this first annual review reports on the early stages of implementing the ambitious agenda. It provides an overview of achievements in 2022 and a summary of plans for 2023. Proud of the initial investments made globally and locally, ATscale is confident they will lead to lasting impact.
