What Consejo Nacional de Discapacidad | CONADIS Rep. Dom. does

CONADIS (Consejo Nacional de Discapacidad) is the autonomous government institution of the Dominican Republic responsible for setting and coordinating national disability policy. Established under Law 5-13 of January 15, 2013 (and operating under legal continuity from Law 42-2000 since 2000), it is attached to the Office of the Presidency with administrative, financial, and technical autonomy, and is governed by an Honorary President (Benny E. Metz Muñoz) and an Executive Director (Alexis Ant. Alcántara Dionicio). The institution serves persons with disabilities across the Dominican Republic—children, adults, and elderly individuals with physical, sensory, intellectual, and multiple disabilities—along with their families and caregivers, providing disability certification, solidarity pension management (RD$6,000/month under decrees 499-26 and 486-26), assistive device distribution, SENASA health insurance enrollment, tax exemption certifications for vehicles and assistive devices, ASFL habilitation, and legal assistance for late birth declarations.

The institution operates a digital and in-person service platform built around three core proprietary systems: the SIGI (Sistema Integrado de Gestión de Información) for case management and public appointment scheduling via sigi.conadis.gob.do/citas_publicas; the SINAC (Sistema Nacional de Evaluación de la Accesibilidad), claimed as the first universal accessibility evaluation tool in Latin America and the Caribbean, used by organizations to assess compliance with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities; and the ICF-aligned Sistema de Valoración, Certificación y Registro Continuo de la Discapacidad for standardized disability assessment. Supporting assets include Academia CONADIS (educational platform), the Official Dominican Sign Language Dictionary, and the Saliendo del Escondite community outreach program. The institution also coordinates the "CONADIS para Todos" mobile social inclusion jornadas, which deploy 20+ government agencies to underserved provinces.

CONADIS does not generate commercial revenue; it is funded through the Dominican national budget and provides all services free of charge. Its go-to-market is fundamentally governmental: it operates from its Santo Domingo headquarters with regional links in provinces (Azua, San Juan de la Maguana, San Francisco de Macorís, Nagua), and is expanding service delivery through 3 planned Punto GOB stations (north, south, east) operated with OGTIC, plus the national Public Online Services Platform (PSPL/serviciosrd.gob.do) and the mobile "Servicios en línea RD" app. The institution derives its competitive position from its statutory monopoly on disability certification and its coordination role across government ministries, civil society organizations (notably ASODIFIMO), and international bodies (OAS/CEDDIS, Iberoamerican Disability Program, RIASA).
