Disability Inclusion: Action for Change (2023–2025) is a collaborative learning resource developed with support from CBM Global Disability Inclusion. It brings together experiences and practical insights from partner organizations. Blind Youth Association Nepal (BYAN), Northern Organization for the Disabled (NONDO) in Kenya, and National Grassroots Disability Organization (NGDO) in Bangladesh under the Action for Change initiative (2023–2025).
The document compiles reflections from partners on key questions related to disability inclusion, particularly focusing on persons with disabilities who are often the hardest to reach. It highlights the approaches used to ensure their meaningful participation, the communication methods applied to understand their needs and priorities, and how these insights informed project implementation. The resource also shares lessons learned, including strategies that were effective, challenges encountered, and practical recommendations for governments, NGOs, and other stakeholders working to advance inclusive and disability-responsive programmes.

Action for Change (A4C) 2023–2025 is an initiative by Blind Youth Association Nepal (BYAN) in partnership with CBM Global Disability Inclusion to promote inclusive Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) and Family Planning (FP) services for youths with disabilities across Kathmandu, Surkhet, and Bara.
The project trained 75 diverse peer educators, conducted 30 awareness and counselling sessions reaching 2,125 persons with disabilities, and supported local governments to establish disability-friendly health facilities. Key achievements include improved SRHR knowledge among youth and parents, increased access to inclusive services, development of accessible IEC materials in Braille, large print, audio, and sign language, and strengthened local networks and policies supporting disability-inclusive health.
The project continues to empower youth as peer educators, sustain accessible resources, and influence inclusive health practices and policies in Nepal.
