Liberia National Priority Assistive Products List (APL)

Liberia’s first National Priority Assistive Products List (APL) is evidence of the Government of Liberia’s commitment to increasing access to assistive technology (AT) through strengthening governance and coordination  in the sector. The APL is intended to guide the AT sector in procurement, donation, service provider training, development of technical standards and service delivery guidelines, and broader advocacy and resource mobilisation efforts. The document is intended to focus and prioritise resources and efforts toward products that  are the most impactful and context-relevant to the country. Development of the Liberia National Priority APL was  made possible by strong collaboration and in-depth consultation between government and non-government  partners and stakeholders1,2, including Liberia’s organisations of people with disabilities (OPWDs) who shared  their lived experiences and meaningful inputs throughout the process, and is the product of valuable contributions  from members of the AT Technical Working Group.
