About the Summit
Why the summit matters
The summit will serve as a co-creation and decision-making platform to strengthen CBM’s global partnership ecosystem, ensuring strategic alignment, and translate shared priorities into measurable action.
What makes this summit different from a regular meeting or conference?
The CBM Partner Summit 2026 is more than a convening – it marks the beginning of a new era of collaboration. It serves as a launchpad for strengthened partnerships, where CBM and its partners jointly commit to shared priorities, enhanced accountability, and achieving sustained impact in disability-inclusive development.
What will participants co-create?
Together, CBM and partners will align on strategic priorities for the next 2–3 years, with a strong focus on systems change, sustainability, and scalability. They will develop a shared Partnership Compact, defining roles, expectations, safeguarding principles, ethical standards, and accountability mechanisms.
What decisions are expected?
CBM and its partners will agree on clear commitments, including time-bound actions, defined ownership, and measurable milestones for the next 6–12 months.
How will outcomes be tracked after the summit?
Summit outcomes will be tracked through a structured follow-up framework that converts commitments into actions, milestones, and accountability mechanisms.
The Summit, therefore, is not a standalone event, but the launch of an ongoing partnership strengthening process that will shape CBM’s work for years to come and be embedded into country-level planning, programme design, and partnership management.
