摘要：Despite crucial needs of data on disability in developing countries for policy planning and mainstreaming persons
with disability in existing programs of development, very few reliable data collection processes are available. Until
the launch of a National Disability Survey in Afghanistan (NDSA) in 2005, stakeholders (Government, NGOs, UN
agencies) were also basing their programs on unreliable estimates of prevalence and very few research based
analysis. The paper argues that a household cross-sectional survey can provide useful information for policy planning
albeit some methodological constraints must be dealt with and some limits are intrinsic to the tool: difficulty
of surveying in a hazardous environment, the sampling process gives estimates of disability prevalence; persons
who do not live in households may be excluded (nomads, persons in institutions), longitudinal analysis are excluded.
Yet, a questionnaire based on the capability approach of Sen and others is an appropriate tool to analyse
living conditions of persons with disability. The interview of control group of non-disabled allows for comparison of
livelihoods between disabled and non-disabled persons.
