The CBM - Nossal Institute Partnership for Disability Inclusive Development aims to build capacity, policies and systems of both disability and development stakeholders to facilitate disability-inclusive development practice and research.

CBM is Australia's largest implementer of disability-specific and inclusive development activities across the world, and has been actively building capacity of development actors in disability-inclusive development. The Nossal Institute for Global Health focuses on health-related development programs, research and capacity development, and runs Australia's only postgraduate course on disability-inclusive development.

CBM and the Nossal Institute play key roles in advocacy for disability-inclusive development, and are both members of the Australian Disability and Development Consortium (ADDC) Executive Committee. The CBM-Nossal Partnership draws on strong technical, capacity-building and research expertise to offer the following services:

1. Tailored needs assessment to identify organisational gaps in disability-inclusive development practice
2. Individualised Disability-Inclusive capacity development planning, including the development of policies and systems, partnership development, development of  resource libraries, technical assistance, mentoring, tool development and training
3. Building capacity and partnerships for research, including development of an evidence base, an information centre and research projects

The CBM - Nossal Partnership can assist both mainstream and specialist stakeholders including donors, partner governments, NGOs, disabled persons organisations, development contractors, disability service organisations, research institutions, consultants and training institutions.
