CBM programmes are run in co-operation with partner organisations with the common objective of improving the lives of people affected by disability in less-developed areas of the world.
Participation
Partner programmes use participatory methods in planning and implementation, involving people with disabilities and family members.
People with disabilities are also employed within programmes. Mutual exchange of knowledge and skills, both professional and managerial, contributes to the organisational development of CBM and its partners.
Regional Office support
CBM has Regional Offices in different parts of Asia, Africa and Latin America whose staff work closely with CBM partners to plan, implement and monitor programmes, assess the level of support required by a partner, provide expert advice and support capacities to achieve sustainable development and a long-term impact.
Together with our partners, the Regional Offices develop national strategies to impact the lives of, and to advocate with governments for the rights and inclusion of persons with disabilities.
CBM’s work together with our partners is more than service delivery: it is sustainable and empowering of local communities.
Eventual self-sustainability
Partners are encouraged to increase and improve their services for people with disabilities, thereby reaching more communities and clients with quality services, and contributing to their self-sufficiency in human and financial resources.
CBM’s work with partners centres around partner enablement, so that eventual self-sustainability and economic self-sufficiency of partners can be achieved.
Partner enablement is a key and growing component of CBM’s work, with the ultimate goal of partner self-sufficiency. This is already happening.
