Please enter the exact wording of the commitment/s, including details of others who have supported its development (75 words limit):
In collaboration with the Global Disability Innovation Hub, and with the support of DFID, CHAI will apply its experience with market shaping for health commodities in order to help develop a market shaping plan to increase access to assistive technologies in low and middle income countries. This plan will draw from detailed research, evidence from target countries, and market shaping best practices to guide how to achieve a sustainable supply of affordable and quality assistive technologies.
Timeframe and/or implementation plan (75 words limit)
CHAI began initial scoping work in March 2018, and will work towards finalizing the market shaping plan in 2019. As quick win opportunities for market shaping or evidence generation are identified, CHAI will collaborate with the Global Partnership for Assistive Technologies in order to channel resources towards these opportunities and incorporate findings into the market shaping plan.
