We are pleased to share CBM Global’s 2025 Annual Report.
This was a year of significant disruption across international cooperation. Declining Official Development Assistance from several donor governments raised concerns that hard-won progress on disability inclusion could be reversed.
Amid these pressures, our Federation remained resilient, locally rooted and focused on the people and communities at the heart of our mission. The Global Disability Summit in Berlin in April provided an important opportunity to reaffirm disability inclusion as a priority on international agendas.
In 2025, we also finalised CBM Global’s Programmatic Strategy to 2030, setting out our long-term goals and strategic priorities. This report shows how that strategy is already shaping our work and strengthening our direction for the years ahead.
We are deeply grateful to our volunteer Board members for their guidance, to our staff around the world for their commitment and professionalism, to the many partner organisations with whom we are privileged to work, and to the generous supporters and donors to our Federation Members worldwide. Together, their combined contributions made the progress in this report all possible.
