3.0 Methodology 3.1 Development of Survey Questionnaire According to the framework of the Global Education Pre-Planning Project on the Human Rights of Deaf People, the Project Coordinator developed a survey questionnaire to collect information on the standard of living of Deaf people in all of the seven WFD Regional Secretariats, focussing on the areas of: 1. Status of the National Deaf Association 2. Population of Deaf People 3. Legislation and Policies 4. Access to Government Services 5. Access to the Media 6. Status of the National Sign Language(s) 7. Access to Education 8. Status of Sign Language Interpreting Services 9. Employment Status of Deaf People The Project Co-ordinator had prior experience in survey work with Deaf people in developing countries, having conducted the FAD – Balkan Survey Project in the countries of Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Turkey between 2004 and 2006. Therefore, some of the Balkan Survey Questions were simply modified for this Global Survey work. The Project Co-ordinator also liaised with the President of the World Association of Sign Language Interpreters (WASLI) for her guidance on relevant questions regarding the Status of Sign Language Interpreting Services. The questionnaire was intended to ensure that all appropriate data was received from each member within the Regional Secretariat. The survey questions were approved by the Project Steering Committee prior to commencement of the Global Education Pre-Planning Project on the Human Rights of Deaf People. The questionnaire is available at the end of this report – Appendix No 2. 3.2 Implementation of the Global Education Pre-Planning Project on the Human Rights of Deaf People in WFD EEMARS Subsequent to the appointment of the Regional Co-ordinator for WFD EEMARS, the Project Co-ordinator and Regional Coordinator co-operated in confirming contact addresses for the 11 country members of WFD EEMARS. The Project Co-ordinator filmed the survey questions in International Sign on a DVD that was disseminated along with the survey questionnaire in written Russian. The Regional Co-ordinator prepared the survey package and arranged for it to be mailed from Moscow, Russian Federation to 1. Armenian Deaf Association (Society) 2. Azerbaijan Deaf Society 3. Byelorussian Society of the Deaf (Republic of Belarus) 4. Union of the Deaf in Bulgaria 5. Union of the Deaf of Georgia 6. Kazakh Society of the Deaf 7. Society of the Deaf of Republic Moldova 8. All-Russian Society of the Deaf 9. Tajik Republic Society of the Deaf (Tajikistan) 10. Ukrainian Society of the Deaf 11. Uzbek Society of the Deaf 3.3 Reporting The Regional Co-ordinator was the central contact point for collection of the survey. Five of the eight country members who responded did so in Russian; the Regional Co-ordinator translated the Russian answers into English for the Project Co-ordinator. The Project Co-ordinator designed a basic data programme with Excel software to record respondent country answers for all surveys received from the Regional Co-ordinator, i.e. eight respondent countries. He was then responsible for summarising the results into categorised sections of the report, available under “Survey Results” on page 30. The Project Co-ordinator also prepared the “Executive Summary”, found on page 12. Once the report was drafted the Regional Working Group gave comments and feedback, which was then taken into consideration in the editing phase of the report. A copy will be sent to all members of WFD EEMARS, WFD, Danish Deaf Association (DDL), Finnish Association of the Deaf (FAD), Norwegian Association of the Deaf (NDF), Swedish National Association of the Deaf (SDR), World Association of Sign Language Interpreters (WASLI), Shia and other interested organisations. A compilation of the most relevant information from all reports will be available at the end of the project. The Project is under the auspices of the Swedish National Association of the Deaf (SDR) and the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) Page No 10 and funded by the Swedish Agency for International Development Cooperation (Sida) and Swedish Organisations of Disabled Persons International Aid Association (Shia).
