THE MLSP HAS LAUNCHED A PUBLIC DISCUSSION ON HOW TO RESTRUCTURE THE AGENCY FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES IN THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY

The Ministry of Labor and Social Policy is starting a public discussion on how to restructure the Agency for People with Disabilities under the Minister of Labor and Social Policy into a State Agency under the Council of Ministers in the most effective way for people. For this purpose, a short survey was developed in which the current concept of the restructuring is presented.

At this stage, the proposals for amendments and additions to the Law on Persons with Disabilities in the context of the upcoming institutional transformation are based on the understanding of delegation of powers to the new State Agency for Persons with Disabilities in a way that would allow it to serve as an intersectoral coordination platform the development and implementation of policies, programs, legislative and institutional changes relating to and related to persons with disabilities.

The survey presents the main functions of the Agency for People with Disabilities, which are planned to continue to be performed by the State Agency for People with Disabilities, as well as those that are planned to be transferred to other agencies under the Minister of Labor and Social Affairs policy with similar powers. New commitments have also been announced, which are expected to be assigned to the future State Agency.

Until April 15, 2024, everyone can express their opinion about the vision for the State Agency for People with Disabilities by completing the survey on the topic "Transformation of the Agency for People with Disabilities into the State Agency for People with Disabilities under the Council of Ministers".

Increasing the effectiveness of policies for people with disabilities is one of the government's priorities, which is why the transformation of the Agency for People with Disabilities into a State Agency is included in the Management Program. The normative change will guarantee the construction of a precise institutional and management structure of the State Agency for People with Disabilities, as well as the accurate forecasting and planning of the necessary budget costs related to the creation of the new agency and the provision of subsequent administrative processes and activities.
