Policy Areas

The Disability Framework is a policy-data integration monitoring tool interlinking nine priority policy areas: population; no poverty and zero hunger; good health and well-being; quality education; empowerment and decision-making; peace, justice and no violence; decent work and employment; accessibility to sustainable cities and communities; and partnerships for the goals.

Population is an important feature of the Framework, although it is not in the SDG. It provides the opportunity to link and assess changes in implementation of the CRPD and its articles especially in relation to article 19 on living independently and being included in the community and article 23 on respect for home and the family.

A total 115 indicators are in the Disability Framework distributed over the nine policy areas mentioned in table 5.
