Rapid Guide: Disaggregating Quantitative Data

Data disaggregation means breaking down data into detailed sub-categories, allowing you to get a better understanding of:

• The needs of specific groups of people (e.g. women, youth, persons with disabilities)
• The extent to which different groups of people (do not) participate in the project activities
• The extent to which they (do not) benefit from the project activities

As a result of using such data, the assistance your project provides can become more effective and inclusive. This brief guide was prepared to make it easier for you to disaggregate data by various factors that often influence people’s vulnerability, such as age, gender, disability and wealth.
