Higher Council for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities became the first disability-focused government body in Jordan to formulate policies, follow up on their implementation and provide technical and knowledge-based support to the executive bodies to implement their programs and plans in accordance with the provisions of the new Law. The Council is the main national reference point vis-à-vis policy-making and the implementation of monitoring processes through clear, scientific, and methodological mechanisms recognized by the new Law on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
