Positioning assistive technology in the global development agenda - climate action, employment, women and girls, and education
To elevate assistive technology in global development discussions, ATscale is working in collaboration with key UN agencies to develop four comprehensive policy briefs.
These briefs will provide evidence-based insights, policy recommendations, and best practices, supporting national strategies, advocacy efforts, and cross-sectoral integration of AT solutions. Each brief will focus on a critical thematic area:
- AT and education (in partnership with UNICEF)
- AT and employment (in partnership with ILO)
- AT in disaster risk reduction and climate action (in partnership with UNDRR)
- AT for women and girls (in partnership with UN Women)
These policy briefs will serve as valuable resources for governments, policymakers, and stakeholders, helping to shape inclusive policies that enhance access to assistive technology and integrate AT solutions into broader development frameworks.
