Community-Based Inclusive Development (CBID), Khordha
Since 2021, Aaina has been implementing the Community-Based Inclusive Development (CBID) project with support from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation. The project operates across two blocks—Khordha and Begunia—covering 200 villages. Our focus is to advance rights, access, and opportunities for persons with disabilities (PwDs) through community-led action and strong systems linkages.
What we aim to achieve:
- Access to entitlements: Build capacity so that over 90% of PwDs are linked to government schemes and services, including 100% UDID coverage.
- Dignified livelihoods: Create livelihood opportunities for 100 PwDs, working through 50 Disabled People’s Organisations (DPOs) to strengthen incomes and resilience.
- Inclusive education: Ensure 40% of children with disabilities attain an achievable standard of education and realise their right to learn.
- Early health and intervention: Improve access to health and early intervention services for 70% of children with disabilities aged 0–10 in the project area.
- Prepared, sensitive systems: Sensitise service providers and community institutions, and address humanitarian needs during disasters, in partnership with DPOs.
