The National Council on Disability Affairs (NCDA) is a national government agency in the Philippines mandated to formulate policies and coordinate the activities of all agencies, whether public or private, concerning disability issues and concerns. Our vision is that all persons with disabilities are able to attain their fullest potential and to become active contributors and participants in nation-building. Our mission is to provide direction to all stakeholders through policy formulation, coordination, monitoring and evaluation of all activities to “MAKE THE RIGHTS REAL” for all.

NCDA’s objectives are to formulate and advocate policies according to internationally and nationally accepted standards in the areas of prevention of the causes of disability, rehabilitation and equalization of opportunities for Persons With Disabilities (PWDs); to develop, promote and regularly review the
national plan for the prevention, rehabilitation, full participation and equalization of opportunities for persons with disabilities, to coordinate, monitor and evaluate the implementation of policies, plans and programs and to advocate/promote respect for rights and privilege of persons with disabilities.
