Paragraph text
The right of persons with disabilities to participate in public decision-making also covers public budgeting processes. Representative organizations of persons with disabilities can play an important role in public budgeting, by providing critical information on the concerns, needs and priorities of persons with disabilities. The participation of persons with disabilities and their representative organizations in public budgets ensures that resources are allocated to priority areas, and that bodies implementing mainstream and disability-specific policies and programmes are held accountable for their performance.
