Adopted as the conceptual framework for the report.

| Aims of the World report on disability  To provide governments and civil society with a comprehensive analysis of the importance of disability and the responses provided, based on best available evidence.  To recommend national and international action to improve the lives of persons with disabilities.  To support implementation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
