Christoffel Blindenmission - CBM Swiss "In September 2021, CBM Switzerland published a fact sheet on the extent to which Swiss Official Development Assistance (ODA) is set up to be inclusive of, and accessible to, persons with disabilities – as required by Article 11 and 32 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). This is a crucial question: without explicit consideration of the CRPD obligations, ODA spending is liable to exacerbate the inequalities between persons with and without disabilities."
