AgrAbility for Africa staff are expanding partnerships and collaborations to tackle assistive equipment failures in Africa. The barrier of high costs has always forced farmers to accept non-prescribed products. And because it is never correctly adapted, equipment meant to maintain or improve functionality is hurting recipients. No surprise, therefore, that non-use of the provided assistive technologies is also increasing at the same rate. This increases calls for interventions on the part of AgrAbility staff to replace or aid in accessing care for secondary injuries.
