Regional pilot experiences of the ADT initiative

At UNICEF we understand that technology and innovation, together with the intersectoral approach, are the fundamental pillars of the ADT initiative in Latin America and the Caribbean.

That is why we work hand in hand with dedicated teams in the ministries of education in Colombia, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Uruguay and the Dominican Republic to ensure that the ADT initiative can address the need to remove barriers and find innovative solutions to include all students in the education system effectively.

Previous experiences in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Uruguay and Paraguay have taught us that ADTs can be a powerful tool to engage all learners through different formats. In other words, besides providing equal access to content, they can also become attractive tools for children and adolescents with and without disabilities to support learning together and in different ways.
