Strengthen systems to make inclusion a reality.
We’ll embed disability innovation into national policy landscapes, stimulating demand, activating country pilots and creating enabling markets environment in Low-and Middle- Income Countries.
A new country office Africa (Rwanda) will build impact and partnership, exploring new opportunities for insight, knowledge and research - testing country implementation and providing technical assistance across AT2030 priority countries.
We’ll explore the intersecting challenges to enabling environment for AT access experienced by disabled people, with a focus on inclusive cities and infrastructure, climate and crisis resilience, and gender. Building evidence and driving action we’ll develop a global strategy on Inclusive Climate Resilient Infrastructure - creating a model of technical support and a city pilot for inclusive climate solutions with equity at it's core.
Continuing to work with WHO to deliver the commitments in the Global Report on AT, we will support the development of the Global Guidelines on Provision of AT, implementing country-led strategies and the roll-out of WHO’s Training in Assistive Products (TAP) at a national level.
We’ll also research the impact of incorporating AT products in the UNICEF catalogue and action plan to further accelerate impact to mainstream AT supply.

Why Climate Change Hits Disabled People Harder
UCL Grand Challenge, Global Disability Innovation HubJune 30, 2026GlobalCase Studies and ReportsPeople with disabilities are among those most affected by climate change, yet they are often excluded from climate planning, design, and emergency response. During London Climate Action Week, we spoke with researchers behind a UCL Grand Challenges-funded and AT2030 funded project exploring how disability-inclusive approaches can strengthen climate resilience and create fairer, more effective solutions. Led by Iain McKinnon and Liza Griffin, the project brings together researchers, practitioners and disabled people to examine how assistive technology, inclusive design and cross-sector collaboration can shape climate action.
