Programme description: The ATscale Pacific Programme supports countries in the Pacific to scale up access to assistive technology for school-aged children through government-led, system-strengthening approaches. The programme strengthens health, education and community-based service delivery, integrating vision, hearing and mobility screening.
It focuses on building workforce capacity, strengthening procurement and data systems, and supporting the delivery of appropriate, quality assistive products with follow-up and referral within national healthcare systems. The programme prioritizes equity by reaching girls, children with disabilities and those in remote and outer islands, while promoting regional coordination to build sustainable national assistive technology systems.
