ATscale’s approach in humanitarian settings

Access to assistive technology is crucial in humanitarian emergencies, to support individuals with vulnerabilities (e.g., children, older people, persons with disabilities and women) and ensure inclusivity, yet significant gaps persist in its provision. 

This position paper outlines eight strategic recommendations for ATscale, including establishing pre-positioned stocks, developing emergency preparedness and recovery guides, and advocating for assistive technology integration into humanitarian responses. 
 

By adopting these recommendations, ATscale aims to enhance the speed and effectiveness of responses, ultimately promoting sustainable solutions and system readiness to provide assistive technology in humanitarian settings.
