Commit resources to support strengthened disability data
We will research and develop tools to dramatically strengthen and increase available data representing the lived experiences of people with disabilities, in conjunction with global partners including Sightsavers and Leonard Cheshire, and in direct relationship with DPO’s and individuals with disabilities. Data collected may be disaggregated using the Washington Group questions and rolled up for reporting under the CRPD, the SDG’s, and/or for defining and improving development programs for people with disabilities.
Timeframe and/or implementation plan
Benetech will work with global partners and local DPO’s in 2018 and 2019 to assess needs and design innovative, accessible technology solutions for data capture and collaboration, focused particularly on education and economic empowerment. From 2019 onward, we will develop and implement such tools that prove to be highly valuable within multiple target countries, measuring effectiveness under rigorous standards.
