National Plan for Access to Justice and Legal Protection of Disabled People
The National Plan for Access to Justice and Legal Protection of Persons with Disabilities had the purpose, as its name indicates, of improving access to justice and guaranteeing legal protection of disabled people. The plan was formulated as the result of a participatory process coordinated by the Ministry of Social Development, in which civil society organizations working on disability-related issues diagnosed problems that hinder the inclusion of disabled people in the justice system (e.g., court facilities are not accessible to people with motor disabilities, some public agencies do not have personnel with knowledge of sign language or tools to facilitate reading braille, etc).

Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
