Prevalence and access to disability inclusive social protection services in Somalia: status, gaps, and policy implications (a secondary re-analysis of survey data)
the study reveals a high prevalence of disability and low access to social protection and disability-specific services in Somalia, especially among women, rural residents, older people, and those affected by conflict. The study indicates a need for comprehensive disability data collection that reflects the diverse needs and barriers to reinforcing disability-inclusive policy frameworks faced by persons with disabilities in Somalia.
