Disability inclusion can only be achieved if persons with disabilities have the support they need to actively participate, and live independently, in their community.
The new strategy builds on existing capabilities and priority areas and expands them with a systematic approach to move one step closer to achieving an inclusive world. Overall, the CBM Strategy 2030 is an evolution rather than a revolution. It contains many elements of continuity. The core of CBM, its brand identity, vision and mission, as well as most other successful areas of work in Inclusive Eye Health (IEH) and Community Based Inclusive Development (CBID), remain untouched. At the same time, we will expand our activities in existing areas of work, namely Inclusive Humanitarian Action (IHA), Community Support Services and Systems (CSS) and Institutional Fundraising.
With this approach, CBM aims to maximise impact for persons with disabilities in low and middle income countries so that they can enjoy their human rights and realise their full potential.
