Paragraph text
Many countries have adopted national disability lead agencies and within those, coordinating committees or similar bodies composed of various government representatives, organizations of persons with disabilities and NGOs. States should strengthen these structures, so that they can serve as focal points or coordination mechanisms for the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and thus provide a permanent space for the participation of persons with disabilities.
