Collecting Data for the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Humanitarian Action: The Application of the Washington Group Questions

In this 2-hour curriculum, comprised of 4 modules, you will learn how to plan for and use the Washington Group Questions (WGQs) to identify persons with disabilities in humanitarian action. You will start by learning the approach to understanding persons with disabilities that sits behind this methodology (module 1) and the importance of collecting data on persons with disabilities (module 2), before uncovering the essential elements of planning and using the WGQs and the data they provide (modules 3 and 4). This learning program has been designed based on the findings of an action-research conducted by Humanity & Inclusion in Jordan, the Philippines and the Democratic Republic of Congo, to test the Washington Group Questions in humanitarian action. Additional resources and tools are available in each module and in the resource section of this curriculum.
