Stat of the Month – Is looking at total budget allocations to persons with disability enough?

/

Governments and policymakers usually announce how much money they spend to improve people’s lives, including spending on disability. But a total figure, no matter how large, tells you almost nothing on its own. It doesn’t tell you whether that money reaches the areas people actually need, whether it reinforces exclusion instead of fighting it, or whether it’s even being spent at all. The real question isn’t how much: it’s how much of what, and toward what.

Statistic of the Month – How Multidimensional Poverty Measures Overlook Accessibility for People with Disabilities

/

Having a toilet isn’t the same as being able to use it. Most multidimensional poverty indices count services, but they don’t ask whether those services are actually accessible for people with disabilities. So real deprivations for people with disabilities are not captured in the data, and it is invisible for public policies. If we want truly inclusive housing and infrastructure, accessibility aspects should be considered and the needs of people with disabilities have to show up in the numbers first.
