Situation Analysis on Children and Adults with Disabilities in Uzbekistan: brief report

This Situation Analysis on People with Disabilities in Uzbekistan was commissioned by the Government of Uzbekistan and UN agencies and it provides a “snap-shot” of the current situation in the country.

This report summarizes and makes sense of findings from five research streams: a legal review, an institutional review, a statistical capacity assessment, a KAP Survey and a needs-assessment study. A mixed-methods approach was undertaken to generate a comprehensive picture. First-person accounts from people with disabilities, their families and disability advocates were also included, gathered in the form of interviews and statements. The report follows the structure of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
