ATscale, the Global Partnership for Assistive Technology, seeks to establish a roster of experts as ‘Technical Editors’. This role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to a multi-stakeholder partnership addressing the critical issue of assistive technology (AT).
ATscale aims to reach 500 million additional people with AT by 2030, supporting their participation in education, work, and daily life. Currently, over 2.5 billion people need AT, yet in low-income countries, 90% lack access. The need is projected to grow to over 3.4 billion by 2050.
Access to AT is vital for individuals with disabilities, aging populations, and those with health conditions, enabling participation and improving health outcomes. Increasing access and affordability of AT can unlock significant economic and social benefits.
The ATscale Secretariat is hosted by UNOPS in Geneva, Switzerland. More information is available at https://atscalepartnership.org/.
The role involves creating high-quality, on-demand content related to assistive technology. Candidates should have an advanced university degree (Master's or equivalent) and demonstrate respect, sensitivity to differences, and commitment to inclusion.
