CBM

World Neglected Tropical Diseases Day is being celebrated for the first time on 30 January 2020. CBM joins more than 250 partners around the world in the fight to eliminate NTDs.

On 24th January each year the world recognises the International Day of Education. This day aims to promote the role of education for peace and development.

At the first General Assembly of the World Hearing Forum (WHF), which took place on 4-5 December, CBM played a prominent role as member of the forum’s steering committee and co-chair of one of four working groups. The theme of the meeting, which took place in Geneva, was Alliance - Advocacy - Action.

CBM released a new application to promote inclusion of persons with disability in disaster risk reduction and released a new version of its Humanitarian Hands-In Tool (HHoT) Tool.

CBM, Humanity & Inclusion and the International Disability Alliance release a collection of case studies demonstrating how to include persons with disabilities in a humanitarian context.

A day to reaffirm our commitment to promote the rights and well-being of persons with disability living in poor communities. CBM made progress in 2019.
