Abstract

The Disability Data in Humanitarian Action project was led by Humanity & Inclusion and ran from July 2016 to March 2019, with the aim of improving data collection on persons with disabilities in humanitarian crises. The project tested and assessed the Washington Group questions for use in humanitarian response contexts, and used the learning to develop guidance on the use of these questions by humanitarian actors.
