A new series of thematic briefs explain the cross-cutting nature of assistive technology and why assistive technology matters for various sectors.
The aim of the series is to advocate the inclusion of assistive technology considerations in cross-sectoral strategies and operational plans at national level and in global policies and guidance; to encourage other sectors to consider the significant role that assistive technology plays in helping them achieve their own goals, especially around inclusion and equity, and to make a clear link with the relevant Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
We expect them to be read by donors, partners, policy makers, AT experts, advocates and practitioners, and all those interested in equity, universality and achieving the SDGs.
