Who We Are
The project is jointly implemented by Handicap International e.V. / Humanity & Inclusion (HI) and CBM Christoffel-Blindenmission Christian Blind Mission e.V. (CBM) and funded primarily by the German Federal Foreign Office (GFFO).
Since the start of Phase 1 in 2016, HI and CBM have combined their expertise in disability-inclusive humanitarian action in order to pass it on to German, international and local humanitarian actors and support Organisations of Persons with Disabilities to meaningful participate in humanitarian response.
In Phase 4 (2025-2027), the International Disability Alliance (IDA) and the African Disability Forum (ADF) are joining LNOB as collaboration partners. Besides, several Organisations for Persons with Disabilities (OPD’s) will collaborate on project country level in East and West Africa for a joint local implementation.
Project Partners
Handicap International e.V. (HI) is a non-profit organisation for humanitarian action and development assistance, active in over 60 countries around the world. We aspire to a world of solidarity and inclusion. We strive at improving the situation of persons with disabilities in a sustainable way and support those in need of specific protection. Furthermore, we advocate for a world without cluster bombs or mines as well as against bombing of civilian populations. HI is a co-recipient of the Nobel Peace Price of 1997.
Handicap International e.V. is the German association of the international organisation Humanity & Inclusion and responsible for the overall project coordination.
CBM Christoffel Blindenmission Christian Blind Mission e.V. (CBM) was founded in Germany and has headquarters in Bensheim. CBM is currently working in around 30 countries on more than 400 projects. Through its collaboration with HI under the LNOB projects, CBM has been also highly involved in capacity building measures on disability inclusive humanitarian action in Germany.
The International Disability Alliance (IDA) is an alliance of global and regional organisations of persons with disabilities. Together they promote the inclusion of persons with disabilities across global efforts. Among others, they played a vital role in developing and disseminating the IASC Guidelines on Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Humanitarian Action and are co-chairing together with HI and UNICEF the Disability Reference Group (DRG). IDA has been collaborating with the LNOB projects on various accounts already and in Phase 4 joins as collaboration partner for our activities under Result 4.
The African Disability Forum (ADF) is a continental forum to unify and amplify the voice of persons with disabilities, their families and organizations in Africa at national, regional and international levels, and to strengthen the capacity of organizations of persons with disabilities in Africa to promote the rights and inclusion of persons with disabilities and their families. In Phase 4, ADF joins as collaboration partner for regional activities.
The project “Phase 4 – Leave No One Behind!” is again primarily funded by the German Federal Foreign Office.
Phase 4 of the “Leave no one behind!” project (2025-2027) builds onto the knowledge and experience of Phase 1 (2016-2018), Phase 2 (2018-2021) and Phase 3 (2022-2024). The previous project phases were also funded by the German Federal Foreign Office and implemented in cooperation with the CBM.
