Practice note: Collecting and using data of disability to inform inclusive development.

Editor's Abstract:

This document is the result of a collaboration between Plan International and the CBM Australia-Nossal Institute Partnership for Disability Inclusive Development. It was prepared in the context of growing interest among international development agencies in the disability inclusive practice, and the collection of evidence to underpin this. It draws on some of the experiences and learning arising from Plan’s work to strengthen disability inclusion within its development programs and the CBM-Nossal Partnership’s work to strengthen disability inclusion within the Australian development sector.

Rather than serving as a comprehensive manual or toolkit, it is hoped that this Practice Note will contribute to a conversation on how data an disability can be collected and used within programs to support both inclusive development practice and inclusive development outcomes. To this end, we would encourage feedback on the contents of the Practice Note or suggestions for supporting resources which could be of use to international development agencies.

The CBM Australia-Nossal Institute Partnership for Disability Inclusive Development strives to develop and strengthen capacity, policies and systems towards disability inclusive development practice and research.
