Disability results from the interaction between a health problem and multiple factors (personal, environmental, social, cultural, and family). An analysis of the factors that can create disability conditions helps to define close links between disability and poverty, regardless of the nature of poverty. Thus, poverty is both cause and consequence of disability. It affects activities of daily living and limits the satisfaction of basic needs. Therefore, disability is not only considered from a medical point of view but also a product of society. The study is part of a quantitative perspective that postulates the measurability of disability and poverty as quantifiable phenomena. This first perspective is enriched by qualitative analysis that allows understanding the behavior of actors, the representations and meanings they give to disability. The data collection equipment used consists essentially of a questionnaire and an interview guide. Preliminary results show that disability is significantly associated with poverty. In Korhogo, people with disabilities have a lower standard of living than "healthy" people because of the unequal access to basic social services.
