Collecting Data for the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Humanitarian Action

Welcome to the Collecting Data for the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Humanitarian Action – The Application of the Washington Group Questions course. This self-paced, four part course will provide you with an understanding of 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 disability (module 2), before uncovering the essential elements of planning and using the WGQs and the data they provide (modules 3 & 4). 

This course has been designed based on findings of an action-research conducted by Humanity & Inclusion in Jordan, the Philippines and the Democratic Republic of Congo, to test the WGQs in humanitarian action. Additional resources and tools are also available as part of this course.
