We are seeking a Programme Intern (Assistive Technology) who preferably is also an AT user to assist the ATscale programme team in the implementation of ATscale’s strategy to strengthen increased access to assistive technology (AT), with a particular focus on country-based interventions and support global level interventions that create a stronger enabling system and market for low and middle income countries.
