With this project, the entities involved, in particular the Colombian Coalition for the Implementation of the United Nations Convention, recognize the condition that the context of the COVID-19 pandemic has generated for people with disabilities, and with a view to carrying out monitoring and follow-up on compliance with the provisions of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities2, and consider it essential to have technical assistance for the preparation of the Second Alternative Report. Under this premise, the LICA - Colombian Autism League and the Observatory on the Convention of the Master's Degree in Disability and Social Inclusion - MADIS of the National University of Colombia, decided to work together to lead this project during the months of October 2021 to January 2022. These organizations were assigned the execution of this project, among other aspects, taking into account that they have been active members with experience in the construction of the first alternative report of 2016.
