Working Area: -
Work For: - CDD works to contribute towards institutionalizing inclusive development. At the heart of CDD’s focus are the persons with disabilities, their families, and their organizations, who are facing barriers excluding them from the mainstream development process. CDD critically engages with the mainstream tiers – the community, the mainstream NGOs, the local and central government, and the private sectors, to make them inclusive. The mainstream actors need to be sensitized to build ownership over the inclusion process. Capacities need to be built all around. Capacities of persons with disabilities and their organizations need to be strengthened, such that they are prepared to take control of their own lives. On the other hand, the capacities of the mainstream sectors also need to be built to remove the barriers and make this change sustainable. CDD’s mission is “To contribute to creating a sustainable inclusive environment where persons with disabilities are meaningfully participating in the mainstream development process, on an equal basis with others”.
CDD works under seven (07) thematic areas:
1. Health and Rehabilitation
2. Education
3. Livelihood and Employment
4. Rights and Empowerment:
5. Local Governance
6. Disaster, Humanitarian Crisis, and Climate Change
7. Deaf blindness
Apart from its seven thematic areas, CDD engaged itself with different social movements including women’s and child’s rights poverty alleviation, and conservation of the environment. CDD’s Rohingya Response programs are unique and designed to the needs of Rohingya people with disabilities. CDD also responded to different emergency crises i.e.- the COVID-19 pandemic, Cyclone, and Flood. CDD believes in the power of collective strength, also values shared pride, and never backs down from sharing its learning widely. For this, CDD networks with like-minded partners to promote inclusion and create change. CDD also promotes persons with disabilities and their organizations in policy advocacy and influencing work. Several pilot initiatives of CDD have been scaled up and replicated by mainstream actors, including some being institutionalized by the government. These successes encouraged CDD to take inclusion to a higher level.
