The policy papers provide guidelines for CBM’s overseas work. They have been developed by CBM advisors, who are professionals, practitioners and teachers in the fields of medical care, education and rehabilitation for persons with disabilities. These experts combine their practical knowledge with professional expertise within the policy papers. The papers are aimed to fit in a development context, therefore stressing low cost options and applicable technology. The policies are revised and updated regularly, according to current debates in the context of disability and development.

For further information on CBM’s policies, view or download the attached policy papers. Further papers are currently being revised and will be posted online in the coming months. To read the papers, you need the Adobe Acrobat Reader, which you can download at the Adobe Website.
