Commit resources to support strengthened disability data

- support Member States to conduct the full version of the MDS,
- build country capacity to generate and use data to design appropriate policies.
Timeframe and/or implementation plan: As outlined in Objective 3 of the WHO Global disability action plan 2014-2021. Timeframe: 2018-2021.
