• Description:
• Background:ATscale is a cross-sector partnership that brings new energy and strategic focus to a significant global challenge: increasing the availability of and access to affordable and appropriate Assistive Technology (AT). ATscale is hosted by UNOPS, which provides its legal entity and administrative framework, regulations, and policies. Increased access to AT is critical to achieving many global commitments, including universal health coverage, the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), and the ambitious Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).ATscale's goal is to reach an additional 500 million more people globally with life-changing AT by 2030. The partnership seeks to harness civil society, governments, development partners, and the private sector to catalyze the optimal use of much-needed resources.This goal (500 million reached) is achieved through supporting interventions at the global level that may benefit all countries, and providing in-country catalytic funding to increase access to AT sustainably. Country Support:The focus for country-level work is to partner with governments - across multiple sectors - and key in-country partners, including organizations of people living with disabilities, to support comprehensive and integrated national plans that aim to increase access to AT. ATscale support must be seen as a complementary source of support, alongside domestic resources and other funding. In line with our overall strategic objectives,country support objectives from ATscale focuses on:1. Addressing enabling ecosystem barriers through interventions aiming at, for example, raising awareness at political and governance levels; strengthening policy and financing mechanisms; strengthening human resource capacity, service provision, supply chain, data, and information systems; etc.2. Specific interventions focused on market-shaping, local production or assembly, increasing demand for a particular product, public-private partnerships for improving supply chain and service delivery, scaling up innovations, etc.The government of Senegal and ATscale mutually expressed interest in partnering to advance the common goal of increasing access to AT for those who need it. The Ministry of Health and Social Action (MSAS) and National Center for Orthopedic Equipment (CNAO) organized a series of consultations with relevant country stakeholders, including key government agencies (e.g., Ministry of Education, National Pharmacy and Supply), UN partners, organizations of persons with disabilities (OPDs), private sector representatives, and international non-governmental organizations(INGOs). These consultations informed the prioritiesarticulated and submitted as a Concept Note to ATscale. After a rigorous review, the ATscale Board approved approx USD 3 million for three years as an initial investment in Senegal against the Concept Note (see Annex 8).The purpose of the grant is to support the government of Senegal in the implementation of the Concept Note (Annex 8). To this end, ATscale invites in-country non-government, non for profit, and UN agencies to provide program management and coordination support for three years (2023-2026) to the Ministry of Health and Social Action (MSAS), while building capacity and graduallytransferring management of the program directly to the government of Senegal.
