Survey and Identification

Surveys have been the conventional methods used for identification of people with disabilities. However, they have been observed to be expensive and time-consuming that may not be affordable or practical. As a result, the participatory rural appraisal (PRA) and key informant (KI) approaches have been developed and increasingly used in the resources in poor countries.
