To monitor, evaluate and report on progress and impact made on the realisation of rights of people with disabilities through an integrated monitoring and evaluation system. To enable public and private sector institutions to deliver on the realisation of the rights of people with disabilities by establishing institutional mechanisms, as well as by facilitating and/or providing institutional support and training.
