Go back Country briefs are prepared using the methods described in the report and in the method briefs. The results presented in the profiles have the same data and measurement limitations as explained in the report. It is advised that the reader first becomes familiar with the data and methods before reading the profile.
WHAT A COUNTRY BRIEF TELLS AND DOES NOT TELL
The briefs provide basic information on the situation of persons with functional difficulties in the countries included in the study. The country briefs include only some of the results presented in the main text of the Disability Data Report and in the Results Tables. Results Tables cover more indicators and intersectional groups (e.g. women with functional difficulties).
The country briefs alone cannot be used to inform the design of policies and programs or draw conclusions about their performance. The design of disability policies and programs and the assessment of their performance require more empirical evidence and in-depth analyses.
