A manual for public procurement of assistive products, accessories, spare parts, and related services

Overview

As a response to the resolution WHA71.8, WHO is working to increase countries' capacity for procurement of priority assistive products, supporting the development of national assistive technology policies and programmes, and providing technical guidance and capacity-building on procurement processes and specifications. WHO and UNICEF developed the " manual for public procurement of assistive products, accessories, spare parts, and related services." which sets out the key steps and good practices to strengthen countries' capacity in procuring assistive technology products. The development of the manual came after the publication entitled "Assistive Product Specification and How to Use Them."
