Disability is a dynamic and complex phenomenon. Across the globe, disability is considered a major development priority especially in low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs). Sustainable Development Goal 17 emphasizes the importance of high quality, reliable and timely availability of disability data to monitor the progress of other disability related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on inclusive education (Goal 4), inclusive employment opportunities (Goal 8), social, economic and political inclusion (Goal 10), and accessible cities and public spaces (Goal 11). According to the World Report on Disability reliable data on disability are lacking for most LMICs. Disability among children is even less understood due to lack of standardized and easy-to-use population-based tool. Globally, there are about 93 million (one in 20) disabled children less than 15 years of age living with moderate or severe disability. To address this gap in disability measurement among children, the UNICEF and Washington Group developed a child disability assessment (C-DAS) tool for children 5-17 years of age. This 24-question and 13-domain tool has not been validated in Africa including Uganda where disability among children ranges between 2-13%. This thesis addresses this gap and comprises of three papers. The first paper is titled "Adaptation and validation of a child functional assessment tool at the Iganga-Mayuge Health and Demographic Surveillance Site in Uganda". It assesses adaptation of the tool for implementation at the Iganga-Mayuge Health and Demographic Surveillance Site in Uganda and presents its psychometric properties. The second paper is titled "Measuring child functioning: assessing correlation and agreement between caregiver and child responses at the Iganga-Mayuge Health and Demographic Surveillance Site in Uganda". This paper assesses correlation and agreement between responses of child-caregiver pairs. The third paper is titled "Factors associated with child disability at the Iganga-Mayuge Health and Demographic Surveillance Site in Uganda". It examines disability categories and presents factors associated with disability among children.
