Adopt the voluntary OECD-DAC disability marker
Australia is a strong advocate for the introduction of a policy marker to track disability inclusion in aid development and will adopt the voluntary OECD-DAC marker once established by the DAC.
Commit resources to support strengthened disability data
Australia will continue to support stronger and more robust disability data by supporting the global use of the Washington Group Questions. These data tools are an efficient way to disaggregate data by disability for the purposes of monitoring implementation of the UN CRPD and SDGs, particularly within low resource environments.
Timeframe and/or implementation plan: Australia will work with stakeholders including UNICEF, ILO, World Bank, the Washington Group and University College London to develop a plan by the end of 2018 for further strengthening the global use of the Washington Group Questions.
