SDGs Monitoring for Persons with Disabilities

In 2016, the two sets of surveys from the fourth edition of G3ict's CRPD Progress Report on ICT Accessibility were filled out by 113 local correspondents in 106 countries. Data collection for the fourth edition of the Progress Report was completed in cooperation with Disabled People’s International (DPI) and various organizations of persons with disabilities and experts in countries where DPI correspondents were not available.

This report analyzes to what extent countries are ready and prepared to meaningfully include persons with disabilities in tracking, monitoring and reporting of implementation of the 2030 Agenda, particularly through the use of credible data. The discussion, data and analysis in the following pages ahead reflect: (1) general systemic issues regarding 2030 Agenda data, monitoring and accountability; and (2) the degree to which key provisions of the 2030 Agenda and disability specific SDGs are being implemented.
