• Creation of a sustainable dynamic for sharing information, knowledge, and best practices continentally

Monitoring & evaluation 

The final report will establish a follow up mechanism on recommendations and commitments, such as an African Observatory for Assistive Technology involving regional institutions and civil society, including AT users and OPDs.

ATscale, through its Geneva Secretariat, will support this mechanism and provide an update on achievements at the opening of AT EXPO AFRICA 2029.
