Global enablers

ATscale supports the development of Global Public Goods for the assistive technology sector in the form of tools and guidance that fill knowledge gaps and are globally relevant and applicable for national policy and implementation in countries. These resources, along with research that builds evidence and generates data, are essential to underpin new or improved approaches to the provision of assistive technology. These are referred to in the Strategic Plan as Global Enablers.

ATscale is working on a suite of global enablers on assistive technology that bridge important gaps in knowledge and evidence. The publications and resources are informed by evidence from ATscale’s product narratives and aim to help meet ATscale’s objectives.

ATscale collaborates with stakeholders, including the private sector, to consolidate market information about demand and supply for priority products.

Overview of ATscale interventions across 4 interdependent global enablers areas:

• Building sustainable AT product markets

• Bringing AT services to everyone, everywhere
