AccessAbility: Inclusive innovation challenge
In June 2023 The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), in collaboration with the Global Disability Innovation Hub (GDI Hub) and the Global Network of Young Persons with Disabilities (GNYPWD) launched the AccessAbility Innovation Challenge to support the development of innovative solutions to address barriers to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) facing young persons with disabilities.
Winners were selected from teams and organizations led by young innovators with disabilities, with the most promising innovations focusing on solutions to address the challenges facing young persons with disabilities in accessing their sexual and reproductive health and rights. The winners received a blend of financial and capacity-building support, as well as enhanced connections with UNFPA teams and the technology ecosystem. Join us for this hour long webinar to hear more from the ventures, and team behind the challenge.
