Phase III: Other Priority Development Indicators

In desk research, another 10 disability-related indicators were referred to in the reports of key stakeholders and international agencies including ILO; UNESCO; the Washington Group; the International Disability Alliance (IDA); the International Disability and Development Consortium (IDDC); the European Union (EU); the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) and the Stakeholder Group of Persons with Disabilities (SGPwD). Some national reports were also reviewed and relevant indicators were selected. (see references).

Some indicators, however, have been left out due to the limitations of the data source, such as the indicator “Proportion of seats held by women in (a) national parliaments, and (b) local government”. The 10 indicators are listed in table 3.
