Zero Project Indicators – an Overview
• 32 Questions in 8 languages: CRPD + Accessibility
• Traffic light system (Yes, Yes with Qualifications, No)
• Comments and additional remarks
• Respondents: 164 disability experts from 130 countries.
• Coverage: more than 80% of all the states that have ratified the UN CRPD.
• Data: quantitative and qualitative analysis
Zero Project Indicators and Graphs
Human Development Index (HDI 1-HDI 4): 13 Topics Biggest gap: Transport, Built Environment , Public
Procurement
Zero Project Indicators – Key Findings
Personal and Political Rights: Most encouraging positive answers Screenshot Q A9: Marriage, Parenthood and Relationships
Emergency Issues: Worst results (89/130 red traffic light on state’s early warning system; 14/130 green lights on emergency phones lines)
Data Availability: Best scoresin HDI 1 countries and there is not a big difference between HDI 2, HDI 3 and HDI 4
Screenshot Q A14: Data on State Employment
Zero Project Indicators – Key Findings
Transport: Dramatic quantitative results, as not even one capital city in the world can be travelled without barriers
Screenshot Q A3: Urban Transport System
Built Environment: Newly constructed buildings - Central and Eastern Europe stand out. General trend: Mainly for physically disabled people and for governmental buildings. Legal time frame is still missing in many countries (red light for 88/130 countries)Screenshot Q A1: Newly Constructed Buildings
Zero Project Indicators – Key Findings
Employment: Trend reversed in HDI 1 countries with regard to unemployment rate. Asia less below average - huge presence of industry, globalization processes
Screenshot A13 Accommodation in the Workplace
Education: Only 13 out of 130 countries surveyed gave a clear 'No’, including three EU countries
ICT, Products and Services: High dependency on availability of Internet services. Digital divide. Some progress on mobile phones and web accessibility
Curriculum: Architecture students and engineers better trained than ICT students
Zero Project Indicators – Key Findings
UN CRPD: Although the question related to the presence of an umbrella organisation ranks fourth in positive answers, in general there are very few focal points
Independent Living: Availability of state allowances depends on type of welfare system
Screenshot Q A7
Public Procurement: Lots of unused potential and huge difference between the most developed and the least developed countries
Screenshot Q B1

Implementing Policies: Involving Persons with DisabilitiesWith its accessibility policy, the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games’ Committee ensured that everyone could participate equally as spectators, athletes or workforce.
Implementing Policies: Opportunities for CooperationIn Spain, the world’s biggest public-private partnership on universal accessibility has been established, which provides financial and technical support to manifold stakeholders, including public authorities, universities and non-profit entities.
Enforcing Policies: Mandating Standards and ComplianceNorway’s Anti-Discrimination and Accessibility Act requires the application of universal design and establishes that inaccessibility is a matter of discrimination
