Effective monitoring and evaluation is critical to the successful Implementation of the NZ Disability Strategy. In addition to an annual report to the House of Representatives, overarching progress will be reviewed after five and 10 years.

Advice is currently being developed for the Minister for Disability Issues on options for the long-term monitoring of the strategy. This report will consider how people with disabilities and the wider disability community can be involved in monitoring arrangements. This work will also determine the appropriate mechanism and agency to oversee ongoing implementation and monitoring of the strategy.
