Consultant MSNA Inclusif RDC – CBM – 10 octobre 2026

Contexte

CBM (Christian Blind Mission) is an international development and humanitarian organisation dedicated to improving the quality of life of persons with disabilities in the world’s poorest countries. We are providing inclusive humanitarian assistance in contexts of disasters, conflict, and displacement. CBM’s humanitarian activities aim to equally reach and actively involve persons with disabilities, addressing specific needs while promoting and facilitating full inclusion in mainstream services. We work together with our partners on programmes that are context specific, from disability-inclusive preparedness to immediate life-saving needsto resilience strengthening. CBM is based in Germany with 23 country offices in Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America. With over 115 years of experience, CBM is considered as one of the world’s oldest organisations working in this field.

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) faces one of the world’s most complex humanitarian crises, marked by armed conflict, displacement, protection risks, epidemics, food insecurity and natural disasters. Persons with disabilities, women, children, older persons, IDPs and returnees face heightened barriers to accessing assistance and essential services.

To inform future humanitarian programming, including potential interventions under ECHO HIP 2027 and other funding opportunities, CBM seeks to conduct an Inclusive Multi-Sector Needs Assessment (MSNA) in selected crisis-affected areas. Findings will support evidence-based programme design, strategic positioning and partnership development.

CBM is seeking a qualified consultant or consulting team to lead this assessment.

The assessment aims to generate evidence on humanitarian needs, vulnerabilities and service gaps among crisis-affected populations, particularly persons with disabilities and other at-risk groups, to inform protection-centred, disability-inclusive and integrated humanitarian programming.
