The mission of the NCD is to influence policy changes and enforcement of laws that protect the rights of persons with disabilities, and to be a major source of information on disability issues in Guyana.

NCD’s vision is to support a society where persons with disabilities enjoy their rights and are able to lead full and productive lives.

NCD provides several services, including registration of persons with permanent disabilities, disability awareness outreach, accessibility guidance, disability identification cards, discrimination reporting support, duty-free concession processing, and referrals to service providers.
