CONADIS Peru
 
Act 27050, published on January 6, 1999, brings into force the General Law for People with Disabilities, a legal instrument that covers, brings up to date, and gives coherence to all preceding legal documents pertaining to the issue. To oversee compliance with the law and that it be carried out efficiently, an autonomous office was created to plan and execute all government actions towards promoting the improvement of life within the target population. This office, called CONADIS Consejo Nacional de Integración de la persona con discapacidad (National Council for Integration of People with Disabilities), will lead efforts from the presidency of the republic.
