The disability database project established an online database of ongoing government projects that include persons with disabilities in mainstream programmes in education, health and rehabilitation, and livelihoods. With initial funding from the Japanese government through the World Bank, the project was a response to the increasing number of government projects launched since the adoption of the UN CRPD in December 2006. It aims to promote information sharing, collaboration and partnership amongst governments and other stakeholders. Since development of the database began in January 2010, it has been refined with its stakeholders and now provides project information from 18 countries from the Global South. By the date of its official launch in March 2012, it will hold data on up to 100 projects.
