Direct peers

• National Disability Authority (Ireland): Irish statutory body providing evidence-based advice on disability policy and practice. Comparable as a small advanced-economy national agency focused on disability strategy, standards, and inclusion — analogous to SENADIS's policy-coordination role.
• Office for Disability Issues (New Zealand): New Zealand government unit within the Ministry of Social Development responsible for disability policy and inclusion strategy. Comparable in mandate and ministerial-parent structure to SENADIS, though smaller in operational scale.
• CONADIS (Consejo Nacional para la Igualdad de Discapacidades – Ecuador): Ecuadorian national council for disability equality, responsible for credentialing, policy coordination, and program delivery. Closest Latin American peer to SENADIS in mandate, scale, and operating model, and a direct regional comparable.
• National Council on Disability (NCD): Independent U.S. federal agency advising on disability policy. Although NCD is policy-advise rather than service-delivery, its federal mandate, public-accountability structure, and Consejo Consultivo de la Discapacidad analog make it a comparable governance model.
• National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA): Australian federal agency administering the National Disability Insurance Scheme, the world's largest publicly funded disability insurance program. NDIA is the closest international analog to SENADIS: statutory national mandate, government funding, credentialing/assessment function, and nationwide delivery of disability supports.

Broad incumbents

• Inclusion International: Global federation advocating for people with intellectual disabilities. Comparable as a multi-country disability-inclusion coordination body, useful as a benchmark for SENADIS's international disability-rights engagement.
• Swedish Disability Federation (Funktionsrätt Sverige): Swedish umbrella organization coordinating disability NGOs and engaging in policy advocacy. Comparable to the civil-society side of SENADIS's Consejo de la Sociedad Civil and Consultative Council structures.
• ONCE (Organización Nacional de Ciegos Españoles): Spanish national organization for blind persons providing services, employment, and inclusion programs funded through a state-authorized lottery model. Comparable in national scope and service-delivery breadth to people with disabilities, though with a narrower impairment focus and a hybrid public-private funding model.
• Department of Social Services – Disability and Carers (Australia): Australian federal department housing disability policy alongside welfare and family services. Comparable to SENADIS's parent Ministry in scope of disability policy coordination, but operates as part of a much larger social-services portfolio rather than as a dedicated disability agency.

Regional players

• Disability Rights Fund: International grantmaking organization supporting disability-rights advocacy in the Global South, including Latin America. Comparable as a complementary funding channel for inclusive projects (similar to FONAPI's role), though operating from outside the region.
