Follow the development of disability policy on a
national level

• The regional and the international perspective
• The importance of mainstreaming
• Conclusion

The importance of mainstreaming

• Our approach is currently to get the central
  agencies having a particular responsibility
  within their societal sector to
• make it possible to compare the conditions
  between persons having and not having a
  functional limitation.

10
Conclusions

• Using a system of indicators to follow the
  development of the society
• Following the accessibility and the possibility
  to live an independent life and to take part of
  the rights compared to the total population.
• The Convention on the Rights of Persons with
  Disabilities provides a frame work.
