Commit resources to support strengthened disability data
We will disaggregate data by disability in a systematic way and ensure that data is analysed and used to inform programme implementation and policy. We will collaborate with the Washington Group to test new modules and explore how the WGSS can be used in a complementary way with other tools, and work to test the Model Disability Survey. We will share learning and guidance with NSOs and other CSOs to build knowledge.
Timeframe and/or implementation plan
Over the next two years we will incorporate WGSS in geo-referenced population based surveys – including gender, age, economic status and disability. We will encourage governments to use these questions in National Census questionnaires. We will ensure that all our findings are widely disseminated and use relevant events to demonstrate the importance of this data and advocate for its use, including the World Data Forum in October.
