This summary provides a concise overview of the Pacific Regional Guidebook on Disability Statistics, a practical resource designed to strengthen the collection, analysis and use of disability data across Pacific Island countries and territories. It explains why reliable disability data matters, how it supports inclusion and leaving no one behind, and how harmonised methods can improve comparability across the region.

Aligned with international frameworks including the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the Pacific Framework for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the Sustainable Development Goals, the summary is a quick entry point for policymakers, statisticians and partners seeking to understand the guidebook's purpose and how to apply it.
