Resources
The Washington Group has assembled an array of resources on disability. These provide background and guidance about the WG, the definition and measurement of disability, and how disability is manifested in the international agenda, particularly within the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability and the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development.
Reports to UN Statistical Commission
As a City Group created under the auspices of the United Nations Statistical Commission (UNSC), the Washington Group on Disability Statistics (WG) reports to the Commission (as a discussion item) during its annual meeting ca. every other year.
The Washington Group Disability Training Workshops
The Washington Group on Disability Statistics (WG) has conducted or participated in numerous disability training workshops designed to disseminate information on the collection and dissemination of disability data, and the use of data collected using cross-culturally comparable disability tools developed by the WG. A list of these workshops – by topic, host, or targeted audience – is included below. For each of the categories, the most recent workshop is accompanied by a link to some of the PowerPoint files used during that workshop. Where relevant, and to avoid unnecessary duplication, only the most recent workshop has the set of slides linked.
