INDICATOR DEFINITION

This indicator measures WFP’s progress in the implementation of the UNDIS standards to consult with organizations of persons with disabilities (OPDs). The intent of the indicator is to see, over time, that WFP Country Offices are strengthening engagements with OPDs as a way of ensuring that the programmes it implements are more inclusive and responsive to the needs of persons with disabilities. The indicator allows WFP to benchmark where COs are on the scale of engagement and compare progress from previous years.

Below are some key terms for this indicator:

Organizations of Persons with Disabilities (sometimes known as Disabled Persons Organizations) (OPDs) are non-governmental Organizations led, directed and governed by persons with disabilities, who should compose a clear majority of their membership. OPDs play a critical role in representing the viewpoints of persons with disabilities. Article 4.3 of the CRPD92 calls on States Parties to engage with persons with disabilities through their representative Organizations; OPDs accordingly serve as representative Organizations and intermediary bodies between policymakers and individuals with disabilities.” (UNDIS Guidelines on Consulting Persons with Disabilities).

The standards and ratings on consultations are as follows:

Approaching Requirements:

• WFP convenes at least one consultation with OPDs on DI implementation.

Meeting Requirements:

• WFP convenes at least an annual consultation with OPDs on DI implementation.

• OPDs participate in key consultations throughout the Country Strategic Planning cycle, including on needs assessment, programme design, implementation and monitoring.

• OPDs are consulted in the emergency risk and needs assessments, preparedness and response planning processes.

Exceeds requirements:

• WFP convenes at least an annual consultation with OPDs on DI implementation.

• OPDs participate in key consultations throughout the Country Strategic Planning cycle, including on needs assessment, programme design, implementation and monitoring.

• OPDs are consulted in the emergency risk and needs assessments, preparedness and response planning processes.

• WFP has a formal partnership with OPDs (FLA, MoU…).

MANDATORY COUNTRY-LEVEL INDICATORS & INCLUSION CRITERIA FOR APR AGGREGATION

Mandatory Country level Indicator(s) composing the corporate indicator:

• CC.2.2 Country office meets or exceeds United Nations Disability Inclusion Strategy standards on consulting organizations of persons with disabilities

Inclusion criteria for Mandatory Country Level Indicator(s):

The mandatory country level indicator is included in the aggregation of the corporate indicator only if the following conditions are met:

• A follow-up value was reported for the reporting year

CALCULATION & AGGREGATION
METHODOLOGY

This indicator is derived from the aggregation of the country-level indicator listed above.

The global aggregated indicator reports the percentage of country offices in three categories: 1) missing, 2) approaching and 3) meeting or exceeding UNDIS standards on consultation with OPDs, and reports the percentage of no data for full transparency.

Numerator: Number of country offices in the respective category: No data: 1) missing, 2) approaching and 3) meeting or exceeding.

Denominator: Total number of all applicable WFP country offices (tier 1, 2 and 3 beneficiaries).

The indicator is then calculated as the proportion of such countries out of the total number of applicable WFP countries offices. This proportion is expressed as a percentage.

DISAGGREGATION FOR REPORTING IN APR

Disaggregated by categories:

• Missing requirements

• Approaching requirements

• Meeting or exceeding requirements

• No data

BASELINE

2024 data on progress on UNDIS Standards on WFP COs’ consultation with OPDs

• Missing: 17%

• Approaching: 31%

• Meeting or exceeding: 24%

• No data: 28%

LIMITATIONS

• The indicator is based on country office self-assessment against UNDIS standards, which may introduce reporting bias and variability in interpretation and scoring across contexts.

• Differences in how country offices interpret and apply UNDIS consultation standards (e.g. depth and frequency of engagement with OPDs) may affect comparability of results across countries.

• The scoring approach categorizes performance into broad levels (missing, approaching, meeting/exceeding), which may mask variations in the quality and depth of engagement with OPDs within each category.

• The indicator measures the existence and extent of consultations with OPDs but does not assess the quality, inclusiveness, or impact of such engagement on programme design and implementation outcomes.

• Data availability and completeness may vary across country offices, and the inclusion of a “no data” category may affect interpretation of global results.

• Differences in operational contexts, availability and capacity of OPDs, and enabling environments may influence country offices’ ability to engage with OPDs, limiting comparability across countries.

• Finally, the indicator does not count the number of OPDs a CO has worked with. It only measures the quality of the consultation process.
