National Disability Council
The National Disability Council (Span. CONADIS) is linked to the Presidency of the Republic, bringing together representatives of the State and the organized civil society to develop Action Plans to protect and promote the rights of persons with disabilities. Created in 1992, it ran until the approval of the new Ecuadorian Constitution in 2008, when it was gradually replaced by the "National Council on Equality of Disability". During the 1990s, CONADIS promoted concrete actions for national coverage of special benefits, promoting and strengthening organizations of people with disabilities through five national federations of persons with disabilities.
