State sponsorship of umbrella organisation

Is there an umbrella organisation representing, at minimum, 50 percent of all those associations for persons with disabilities, that receives directly basic state funding?

In just under half (16) of the countries surveyed there were such organisations that received direct state funding. In seven countries, no such organisation exists.
In the remaining 12 countries, such organisations may exist, but they may not either represent over 50 percent of all those associations for persons with disabilities, or do not receive direct state funding. In a couple of instances, Macedonia and Serbia, there are conflicting views as to which organisation really represents “the interest of persons with disabilities” (Macedonia).

Such an organisation exists, represents over 50 percent of all those associations for persons with disabilities and receives directly basic state funding.

Such an organisation exists, but may not either represent over 50 percent of all those associations for persons with disabilities, or does not receive directly basic state funding.
