Representative Survey on Living Conditions
Representative surveys on living
conditions confirms that households with disabled members have lower
standard of living than others.
This is one of the result of five representative studies of the Living
Conditions of People with Disabilities in Southern Africa carried out in Namibia, Zimbabwe,
Malawi, Zambia and Mozambique. Swaziland and Lesotho are the next countries
to carry out the studies of Living Conditions.
The representative studies are the result of an international co-operation
between SAFOD, the Norwegian Federation of Organisations of Disabled People
(FFO), the Norwegian research company SINTEF and Universities of the
respective countries.
The study have been funded by the the Norwegian Atlas Alliance on behalf of
Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD).
In addition to the studies, a capacity building component has been an
important part of the collaboration. Organisations of people with
disabilities and individuals with disabilities have played a particularly
active role during development of the design as well as in the data
collection.
The
SINTEF scientists
Arne H.
Eide and
Mitch Loeb
can give more information about the surveys.
