The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its 2000 direct request, which read as follows:

Article 2 of the Convention. The Government states that the Minister of Gender, Labour and Social Development is to establish a National Council on Disability to coordinate and monitor implementation of the policy on disability. The Committee would appreciate receiving further information on progress made in this respect.

Article 1, paragraphs 1 and 4, and Article 3. The Government states that people with mental impairments are included in the definition of persons with disabilities. They have access to the services provided by the Employment Exchange Service, but are not provided services by the Vocational Rehabilitation centres due to lack of appropriate facilities. The Committee would appreciate being kept informed in future reports of progress made in expanding the capacities of the rehabilitation service to include persons with disabilities.

Part V of the report form. The Committee notes the Government’s statement that an evaluation of three rehabilitation centres was carried out in 1991. The Committee would appreciate receiving extracts of these findings, as well as other statistical information on the application of the Convention.
