LONGSTANDING COMMITMENT

The International Initiatives Program has adopted CBA’s longstanding commitment to equality. We incorporate a holistic, knowledge-based and accountable approach to equality in all our programming and project work.

CBA International Initiatives is committed to the creation of environments which will enable everyone, regardless of sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language, age, disability or socio-economic status to access their rights.
