We are Calling on You to Endorse a Priority List of Indicators that should be Disaggregated by Disability!
The realization of the Sustainable Development Goals is going to be measured through the Global Indicator Framework. The Global Indicator Framework recommends that data gathered through indicators should in relevant cases be disaggregated by disability. IDA and IDDC, in consultation with UN agencies, identified 31 critically important indicators which should be disaggregated by disability in order to gain data on the situation of persons with disabilities worldwide. To create effective and meaningful policies that guarantee the rights of persons with disabilities it is critical to carry out such disaggregation.
