Sendai Framework Monitor (SFM) Sex, Age and Disability Disaggregated Data (SADDD)

The  United  Nations  (UN)  describes  data  disaggregation  as  the breakdown of observations to a more detailed level where more comprehensive  observations  are  taken. Hence,  Sex,  Age,  and Disability Disaggregated Data (SADDD) is data  which  is  broken down  into  different  categories.  This  can  be  one  or  all  the categories, namely sex, age, and disability. The use of SADDD can  show  the  differences  and  inequalities  of  conditions  for different population groups.

The disaggregation in the SFM specifically looks at:

•  Sex: Male and Female

•  Age:   Children (0 – 14 years),            

              Adults (15 – 64 years), and          

              Seniors (65 years and older)

•  Disability: People with an existing “pre-event” disability that are effected by a disaster, and not people who develop a disability from a hazardous event or disaster. 

The  SFM  enables  countries  to  report  disaggregated  data  on income (those effected who earn less than the national poverty line),  and  countries  are  encouraged  to  report  this  as  well.  It  is recommended to collect, manage, and use disaggregated data for people with diverse gender identities, which can be supported in the SFM through its custom indicator functionality.

The aim of this guidance is to: 
•  Support the SFM Officers at the country level and other DRR practitioners to report SADDD. 
•  Strengthen the Sendai Framework Monitor (SFM) reporting through  the  promotion  of  good  practice  for  sex,  age,  and disability disaggregated data (SADDD). 
•  Complement  the  SFM  guidance  such  as  trainings,  the  SFM E-Learning Course including a video about disaggregated data, the Technical Guidance Notes (TGN), and other materials.
