Accurate information regarding childhood disability is necessary to plan intervention programmes, provide resources for services, develop and monitor policies at a national level, and to compare disability rates and experiences internationally. Currently, there is a dearth of information on a range of childhood disability issues including the prevalence of disability; severity of disability, causes of disability, impact of disability on development, function and social integration; need for services; access to services and cultural views of disability in developing countries. Without such information, the lives of disabled children in low-income countries are unlikely to improve and the key goal of poverty reduction in low-income countries is unlikely to be achieved.
