Gender equality, disability & social inclusion

Every instrument we design disaggregates by sex and, where the assignment allows, by disability using the Washington Group short set. Female enumerators are deployed as standard for girls’ schooling and household surveys — in much of rural Pakistan, a male enumerator simply will not obtain a truthful answer from a female respondent, so this is a data-quality control before it is an inclusion commitment. Inclusion analysis is written into the analysis plan at inception, not appended at reporting.

In practice

• Sex and disability disaggregation as default
• Washington Group short set where applicable
• Female enumerator cadre across provincial offices
• Inclusion analysis in the inception analysis plan
• GEDSI focal point named on each assignment
