Led by The Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), this sub-programme is developing AT Product Narratives to inform global investment and scoping market-shaping opportunities.
Products Narratives
Product Narratives are key elements of AT2030 objectives, helping to identify opportunities for AT2030 and others to test innovative models of what works to improve access to Assistive Technology (AT) with the potential to reach scale, through innovative products, new service delivery models and local capacity.
These reports will be also foundational in informing ATscale’s activities and investments in line with Objective II of ATscale’s Strategy Overview - to identify and invest in interventions required to shape markets and overcome supply and demand-side barriers for priority AT.
AT2030 look forward to engaging with partners interested in aligning their activities with the proposed strategic approach to enable the sector to collaboratively unlock potential to reach those most in need.
These reports are developed by the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) under the AT2030 programme in support of the ATscale Strategy.
We also have Accessible formats and translations.
There is also an additional report on clubfoot, entitled "Preventing lifelong impairment: Access to clubfoot treatment in low- and middle-income countries".

Preventing lifelong impairment: Access to clubfoot treatment in low- and middle-income countries
Clinton Health Access InitiativeJuly 19, 2021GlobalCase Studies and ReportsCongenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV), commonly known as clubfoot is one of the most common congenital conditions, affecting 1 in 800 births. Left untreated, it can lead to life-long impairment, impacting participation in society, education, and employment. Most children with clubfoot can be successfully treated with the Ponseti method, a low-cost, cost-effective, and minimally invasive treatment protocol. Despite progress, less than 1 in 5 children born with clubfoot in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) currently receive treatment. This new cutting edge report, authored by CHAI under AT2030, explores solutions and recommendations for ensuring affordable and appropriate assistive technologies reach the children and adults with clubfoot that need it.
