| Rationale |
Monitoring the percentage of leadership positions held by people with disabilities is crucial for assessing progress toward inclusive governance and equitable representation. Representation of people with disabilities in leadership roles helps to ensure that their needs and rights are prioritized in decision-making processes, contributing to more inclusive and responsive policies. |
| Method of Computation |
To compute the “Percentage of All Political, Community, and Government Leadership Positions with People with Disabilities Represented,” first identify and list all relevant leadership positions within the specified area. Then, collect data on how many of these positions are held by individuals with disabilities. Next, divide the number of leadership positions held by people with disabilities by the total number of leadership positions identified. Finally, multiply the result by 100 to express the proportion of leadership positions with disability representation as a percentage. |
