CBM Ireland

In 2006 CBM Ireland commissioned our services to produce four international development funding bids for The Civil Society Fund of Irish Aid (Foreign Affairs Department of the Irish Government).
Working directly with the Central Africa Regional Office and liaising with the Irish office, we produced all of the bids to a tight timescale.
Each of the bids succeeded and have achieved a total sum of €1,504,416 for international development work in Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo. These major programmes of medical intervention for people with Cataracts, Glaucoma and vision impairment as well as orthopaedic surgery, physiotherapy and prosthetics for people with disabilities are now underway. The funding will also enable a wider range of benefits through HIV/AIDS awareness raising, empowerment of women’s rights, micro-enterprise schemes and primary education bursaries. Training of local staff is an important aspect of each project and will enable longer term benefits for the programme.
We are now working on a regular basis with CBM
Ireland, supporting monitoring of existing programmes and supporting them to
move on to the next phase of longer term Government co-funding which will
enable € Multi – Million annual
block funding. This has included programme design with cbm partners and
regional staff in
