National Disability Council
The National Disability Council is a consulting, advisory, verification, monitoring and evaluation body of the National Disability System, in which the coordination, planning, consultation, adoption and evaluation of general and sectorial public policies for the disability sector in Colombia must be carried out. The members of the Council come from the ministries and entities in charge of the subjects, as well as citizens representing each of the disability types and those who take care of them. The origin of this Council can be linked to the adoption of the Disability Act of 1997 and within it the constitution of the National Consultative Committee of Persons with Limitation. In 2007, the National Disability System was organized, including the National Disability Council. Although it is not clear from the regulations that this Council has replaced the previously established Consultative Committee, it may be thought that this is because the article establishing the Committee is repealed by the law creating the Council, and it can be seen that the members and functions of the two organizations are similar.
