The paper answers the question, ‘‘Where do we stand on the implementation of CRPD provisions as relates to ATs and ICTs?’’ It presents a subset of data from the 2013 edition of the Progress Report. The subset of data reflects the degree to which key dispositions of the CRPD on ATs and ICTs are actually enacted by respondent countries – with a particular emphasis on low resource countries – in local laws, policies and regulations and their actual impact.
