Sustainability Enquiry – Nepal
From 2016 to 2020, CBM Nepal's Saksham Mahila project empowered people with disabilities, especially women, by enhancing their socio-economic status and access to inclusive services. However, three years on, most Self-Help Groups have struggled to remain active, the single cooperative established is no longer operational, and while disability inclusive services improved, sustaining progress has been challenging for local governments. In contrast, all nine small business owners interviewed have maintained their businesses. This report examines the long-term sustainability of the project’s outcomes, identifying key elements that have contributed to or undermined its lasting impact, and forms part of CBM Global’s broader Sustainability Enquiry
Sustainability Enquiry Aceh Mental Health
From 2006 to 2021, CBM Australia transformed mental health care in Aceh, Indonesia, post-Tsunami, through a rights-based approach integrating medical and social support. This "Aceh model" shifted from institutional care to sustainable, holistic care involving families and communities, reducing stigma and improving accessibility. As part of CBM Global’s Sustainability Enquiry, this document examines the long-term impact of our work and the factors influencing its sustainability. While challenges remain, the lasting effects include reduced stigma, greater awareness of the social-medical approach, and ongoing community engagement in mental health care.
