Disability-Inclusive Indicators for Anticipatory Action M&E

CCI embeds GEDSI as an operational standard. This ongoing research stream develops disability-inclusive indicators — including Washington Group Short Set–aligned modules — for anticipatory action M&E frameworks.

Indicators cover reach of early warnings, participation in early actions, shelter accessibility during activation, and post-event recovery differentials for persons with disabilities.

Field testing occurs alongside coastal and training assignments so instruments are validated in real programme conditions rather than in isolation

Partner workshops review draft indicator sets against donor and INGO reporting requirements, ensuring research products are immediately usable in logframes and baseline designs.

The research advances CCI’s claim that inclusive data collection is a core design principle, not a parallel workstream

Programme highlights

• WGSS-aligned AA indicator modules
• Field validation in coastal programmes
• Partner logframe alignment workshops
• Guidance notes for enumerators and analysts

CCI embeds gender-responsive methodologies, disability-inclusive data collection, and intersectional analysis across all fieldwork and reporting — not as an add-on, but as a core design principle.
