Representing CBM at EU level
The European Union (EU) is an important global actor - both politically and financially - in the field of development.
The mission of CBM EU Liaison Office (EU LO) is to be a key partner at the EU level, to ensure that European Commission (EC) Development Assistance plays a central role in improving the lives of persons with disabilities globally.
To achieve this:
- EC policies and programmes must explicitly include the rights of persons with disabilities.
- Relevant EC staff should be aware of the need, and have the capacity, to include persons with disabilities.
