Community Based Inclusive Development Report 2023
Community Based Inclusive Development (C B I D) is a way of working that ensures people with disabilities are respected and included in their communities on an equal basis, in all areas of life. C B I D is therefore
essential to driving disability-inclusive development in today’s world, and it is at
the core of CBM’s work.
Our global C B I D portfolio encompasses 166 projects, delivered with 135 partners in 30 countries (chapter 3). In chapter 2 you can find out what constitutes the C B I D approach and how we have contributed to its evolution with our partners, while in chapter 4 we shine a spotlight on projects in four countries to give an impression of how C B I D
contributes to transforming local communities.
As the world seeks to learn from the recent pandemic, conversations are developing about the support persons with disabilities need to actively participate and live independently in their communities. Consequently, the C B I D approach is central to CBM’s new Strategy 2030, which focuses on community support services and systems for persons
with disabilities. You can read more on the strategy and community support in chapter 9.
