6.2 Information sources There are a few sources of useful information on the status of disability in the Maldives. The Report on Survey of People with Disabilities published in 2002 by the then Ministry of Gender, Family Development and Social Security contains useful data on persons with disabilities in the Maldives (MGFDSS 2002). The Situation of People with Disabilities in Haa Alifu and Haa Dhaal (Campion 2008) provides an account of perceptions of persons with disabilities and their families in the two northern most atolls of the Maldives. The most recent and most comprehensive data is available from the Disability Screening Survey undertaken in 2009 by Handicap International (HI 2009). The World Health Organisation undertook an assessment of Mental Health System in the Maldives in 2006 (WHO and MoH 2006). The Government does not provide a portal for rights holders, duty bearers, professionals and community members to search on-line for information on services and policies related to persons with disabilities.
