2016/2017 Report

In 2016/2017, the Office for Disability Issues commissioned a review of disabled people-led monitoring in New Zealand. This was done by Malatest International.

The review looked at the effectiveness and efficiency of the ‘disabled people-led monitoring of their rights’ initiative and provided recommendations to inform future arrangements.

The Office for Disability Issues will be leading the next steps on improving disabled people-led monitoring under the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the New Zealand Disability Strategy 2016-2026 in consultation with the DPO Coalition and other interested stakeholders.

2017/2018 Report

This report summarises a review of disabled people led monitoring. The focus of the review was to provide feedback that could be used to strengthen the monitoring in coming years. The review focused on:

  • Design, operation, governance and reporting of the disabled people led monitoring
  • Relationships between the CCMG and the wider disability sector and government stakeholders
  • Opportunities for developing the monitoring in the future.

The review collected information primarily through interviews with CCMG members, monitoring employees, the IMM members and stakeholders across government and the wider disability sector. It also included a review of the documentation of the monitoring in New Zealand and a scan of the literature on international practice in UNCRPD monitoring.
