answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/06/2015 answer text <p>DFID funds a number of projects which support deaf people, including through Sense International and the Disability Rights Fund, which supports Deaf People’s Organisations in a number of countries including Rwanda and Uganda. DFID advocates for the use of the Washington Group Questions as a method of disaggregating data by disability. The questions can give policy makers a better understanding of the number and situation of deaf people as well as those with other impairments. DFID is implementing its disability framework, published in December 2014. The framework sets out how DFID will make its policies and programmes more inclusive of all people with disabilities.</p> answering member constituency Welwyn Hatfield answering member printed Grant Shapps grouped question UIN 2774 question first answered 23/06/2015 12:34:32 answering member 1582 label Biography information for Grant Shapps
