  2. Database Limitation • Identification not Diagnosis • Partially contain comprehensive information on prevalence, health conditions associated with disability and appropriate resources needed by PWDs • Limited in recording and identifying types of intervention, rehabilitation services, assistive devices needed by PWDs • Partially identify relationship between NCDs and disability

  3. Development of New Database Framework • Adopted International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health framework • Provides a base for the development of a common system of defining and classifying disability • Ensures that data collection in specific areas of application (clinical, statistical, surveys, census, policy, administration) and reports are aligned with international health and disability standards and practices • Use by service providers to develop appropriate intervention strategies, systems and methods of service provision and assistance • Provide strong evidence based policy for effective Government decisions & budgetary purposes for PWDs

  4. Database Framework

  5. Success Factors • Collaboration by all relevant stakeholders working with ICT database and Statistical data collection to develop a more integrated system for collection of statistical data and information on PWDs • Streamline the flow of information that will assist national policy-making, program planning and implementation of those policies to give effect to CRPD

  6. Lessons Learned • Value of collaboration between government ministries and disability focus groups, sharing and exchange of information on disability • Importance of consolidating information to minimize duplication of efforts and resources • Comply with internationally accepted norms to protect the human rights & fundamental freedoms and ethical principles in the collection and use of statistics

  7. Proposed Network Structure Keys: MOH – Ministry of Health MOE – Ministry of Education OPM – Office of Prime Minister NSO – National Statistics Office MIA – Ministry of Internal Affairs NGOs – Non Government Organizations

  8. Challenges • National agencies not on share network • Need to upload database on website • Financial constraint to upload database on website and lack of human resources to populate database
