Around 600 participants from Asia-Pacific and around the world, who have committed to and are practicing CBID, will attend the Congress.
The Congress will be organized by the Government of Mongolia, through the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, and the CBR Asia-Pacific Network in collaboration with WHO, UNESCAP, JICA/DPUB, Leonard Cheshire, CBM International, Italian Association Amici di Raoul Follereau (AIFO), and Asia-Pacific Development Center on Disability (APCD).
