The AT EXPO AFRICA dialogue aims for broad public engagement, bringing together assistive technology users, civil society including organizations of persons with disabilities (OPDs), with clinicians, service providers, manufacturers, and innovators, alongside governments, regional bodies, UN agencies, and strategic donors to explore how assistive technology can create greater inclusion and impact across Africa. The programme combines high-level policy discussions, practical insights from real-world implementation, and interactive workshops showcasing innovative assistive technology solutions.
Bringing together diverse perspectives and real-world experience, the dialogue is designed to spark ideas, share solutions and drive lasting change.
