2. Introduction
Disaggregation of data is a necessary step in fully understanding the needs of a population in a country.
When collecting data for Censuses and Surveys, the Central Statistical Office ensures that the data is produced and disseminated in a disaggregated manner, that is by age and sex.

3. Available data for disaggregation by vulnerable groups
Sex
Age
Citizenship
Education
Migration
Health
Occupation
Industry
Access to water and sanitation
Assets and ownership
Agriculture
Survivorship
Household income
Household expenditure

4. Levels of disaggregation
Administrative levels ( 52 Tinkhundla)
Geographical location (Urban, rural)
Regions (Hhohho, Manzini, Shiselweni, Lubombo)

5. Efforts made to ensure that no one is left behind
In the 2017 Population and Housing Census, a scaled response question was used for disability in line with UN recommendations for disability. New questions on albinism and epilepsy were also included.
In trying to further look at how specific subgroups are performing, the PHC introduced a question on religion, so as to have more detailed information about the educational performance and health needs of certain population groups.
A module was formulated with the help of UNESCO to measure some issues on culture in MICS 2014, as there was no standard question on it.

6. Limitations in efforts made
Disaggregation of data is guided by the users` needs and demands, whereas there is no clear system/ guidelines on how to disaggregate data, so as to try expose underlying trends and issues such as achievement gaps, opportunity gaps, learning gaps, and other inequities in a population.
For example, Information on albinism is a sensitive topic, thus can not be reported at geographical levels.
We are still trying to establish a data governance structure that is effective in its operations at every level.
