Video presenting the SDG-CRPD resource package

With a view to ensuring mutual reinforcement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), the SDG-CRPD resource package aims at providing support so that all actions undertaken for the SDGs are inclusive of persons with disabilities and guided by the CRPD. They are made up of resources supporting policymaking and resources supporting monitoring that can be used together to advance disability-inclusion.

An advance version of the SDG-CRPD resource package was launched in December 2020 and welcomed by the global community. To learn more about the launch of the advance version, please click on the following links:

Data sources guidance

This guidance mirrors the human rights indicators and provides examples of different sources of data to inform the outcome indicators.
