Accepted
Include specific, measurable disability data disaggregation policies in the DIRS delivery plan.
Recommendation
We recommend that the FCDO includes specific, measurable data disaggregation policies, guided by the UNCRPD definition of disability, in the upcoming iteration of the Disability Inclusion and Rights Strategy delivery plan, which it should then share with stakeholders and delivery partners. All bilateral ODA projects should include these targets from now on. (Paragraph 44) Safeguarding
Government Response Summary
The government agrees and is developing a new Inclusive Data Charter Action Plan (IDCAP) to meet commitments to disaggregate data by disability, sex, age, and geography in development programs. The current delivery plan already includes explicit references to disaggregated data.

HMG position: Agree. The FCDO has signed up to the Inclusive Data Charter and is committed to increasing the number of programme indicators that are disaggregated by disability status as well as sex, age and geography. The most recent release of statistics on the International Climate Fund and preventing gender-based violence have both been disaggregated by disability status where possible. Nevertheless, we recognise that only a limited number of programmes disaggregated their results statistics and we must do more to improve data coverage. The current iteration of the delivery plan contains explicit references to disaggregated data, including those related to education; global health; economic development; inclusive social protection systems; inclusive humanitarian action; and disability inclusive climate action. We are in the process of securing the necessary technical resource to develop and publish a new Inclusive Data Charter Action Plan (IDCAP) to help us meet commitments to disaggregate data.
