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 32 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.
As such we have compiled a short document (attached) in which we are calling on Member States to carry out their responsibility to collect and disaggregate data in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) by using the Short Set of Questions developed by the Washington Group.
If you agree and would like to support our advocacy efforts, we are calling for endorsement of this priority indicator list and short statement attached to this email. In order to endorse simply reply to this email. All are invited to endorse, individuals, DPOs, NGOs, and so forth.(No logo nor handwritten scanned signature is needed.)
Thank you!
Explanation:
Indicators measure important characteristics of people and populations, such as the poverty rate in a particular country. When we disaggregate, for example, we find not only the overall proportion of people in a country living below the poverty line, but also the proportion of persons with disabilities who are living below the line.
The request is that all the indicators listed below should be disaggregated by disability.
