<p>In its response to the IDC recommendations DFID did not commit to report results
disaggregated by disability across all sectors of the Department’s work.</p><p> </p><p>DFID
is nevertheless committed to improving data on disability. Our priority in this area
is to strengthen national governments' ability to collect, analyse and use data in
the countries in which we work at a national, regional and local level, and in different
sectors. This information will be used to inform national level results frameworks
and reporting against future international development goals. To do this, DFID made
a new commitment in September 2013 to advocate the use of the Washington Group questions
on disability wherever possible in DFID-supported national censuses and household
surveys, and to champion their use with other donors.</p><p> </p><p>As the IDC recognises,
collecting disaggregated data at the programme level is difficult. DFID will make
disaggregated data on age and disability part of our requirements for funding humanitarian
proposals. DFID's broader approach is to identify programmes with a specific focus
on disability at the design phase, and to monitor this inclusion throughout the programme
management cycle.</p><p> </p>
