South Sudan is in a protracted crisis. Four million people have been displaced and many have been left living with high levels of injury, poverty and food insecurity. The impact of the crisis on children -- who make up over 29% of the population -- is particularly high, and a large number are at risk of being born with or acquiring a disability. Assistive technologies (AT) -- the systems, services and products that enhance the functioning of people with impairments -- are likely to be required by many children in South Sudan with disabilities. There is no reliable data available on disability prevalence or AT needs in South Sudan, though estimates suggest a range between 10% and 15% of the population. This work aims to understand the landscape of AT provision and the barriers and facilitators to provision and provides recommendations for priority actions. (As Provided)
