UNICEF is supporting the Government of Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) in implementing the ATscale-supported project titled “Unlock Healthy Learning in the Pacific: Improving access to assistive technology and related rehabilitation services for school-aged children”, with a view to increasing access to vision, hearing, and mobility assistive technology (AT) for school-aged children. The project aims to screen approximately 15,000 children and provide appropriate assistive products and services to approximately 1,500 school-aged children in FSM. In parallel, the project will strengthen national systems by establishing functional multi-sectoral referral pathways, building workforce capacity, and improving supply chains through a unified regional approach featuring pooled procurement and harmonized standards. In FSM, access to hearing and ear care (HEC) services remains limited. The burden of hearing impairment and ear disease is not well documented, reflecting limited routine screening, diagnostic capacity, and data systems. Service provision is constrained by shortages of trained personnel and limited availability of essential equipment and tools for screening, diagnosis, and treatment. As a result, many children with hearing and ear conditions are not identified or do not receive timely and appropriate care, with implications for their learning and development.
