The right of persons with disabilities to participate in decision-making 2016, para. 68
Paragraph
Paragraph text
While disability lead agencies can be effective for strengthening the relationship between the State and civil society, they should be complementary to direct consultations and dialogue through other formal mechanisms as their structure usually limits the number and diversity of representative organizations of persons with disabilities. Additional engagement mechanisms may take the form of round tables, participatory dialogues, public hearings or online consultations.
