Access to rights-based support for persons with disabilities 2017, para. 59
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Decentralizing the provision of support is a major challenge for many States. Contributions to the present report illustrate that where responsibility for the provision of support has been delegated to regional or local authorities, support is often underfunded and fragmented, allowing for regional disparities and inequitable access within the country. This situation gives persons with disabilities little certainty and limited choice of or control over support services and arrangements. States should enhance their internal coordination mechanisms to address support needs in a comprehensive manner, ensure that regional and local authorities receive adequate budget, and implement and monitor the provision of support services effectively. Persons with disabilities should be able to retain the support they receive when they move to another region in their country.
