Friendship is a large Bangladeshi non-governmental organisation founded in 2002 by Runa Khan. It works with remote and marginalised communities, including the river islands, or chars, of northern Bangladesh and communities along the southern coast.

Its programmes connect health, education, disaster management, good governance and sustainable economic development.

The DPRP website content draft records a pilot of the approach in Bangladesh. This pilot is not yet reflected in Friendship's own public communications. Independent pilot figures and a full partner profile are not yet available; this entry will need updating when that information is available.

ADED is a child- and community-centred organisation in North and South Kivu, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Since its first DPRP pilot in Uvira in 2019, it has worked to help children in distress access care, education and protection within their own families and communities.

Through DPRP, ADED reports identifying and supporting 6,200 children and youth with disabilities and reaching 131,000 women and family members with maternal-health and prevention awareness. Fifty-five Community-Based Rehabilitation Facilitators are now paid directly by the state.

The programme has continued amid regional instability because the work is rooted in existing health centres, schools and community structures, rather than depending on a single governing authority.

Children and youth identified and supported: 6,200.

Ambition: expand to 10 more health zones in North and South Kivu over five years.

These figures and programme stages reflect the partner-reported information in the website content draft. The reporting date remains to be confirmed.

Karuna Foundation Nepal originally developed the DPRP approach from an earlier pilot called Inspire2Care. Its roots go back to 2007, when René aan de Stegge founded Karuna in the Netherlands; Karuna Foundation Nepal was formally established as a Nepali NGO in 2015.

Working closely with provincial and local governments, the programme has become part of Nepal's public system and operates across all 137 local governments in Koshi Province. Independent evaluation recognised the approach as one of the five best practices in community-based inclusive development across 37 Asian countries. Other DPRP partners use this model as a reference and adapt it to their own settings.

Where: Koshi Province, Nepal.

Started: 2007; established as a Nepali NGO in 2015, following the Inspire2Care pilot.

Assistive devices: 521 people supported with an assistive device.

Quality of life: 500 children with disabilities reported improvements through rehabilitation, healthcare, education and community support.

Healthcare access: approximately 35,000 people across seven communities in three districts gained access to improved healthcare, representing about 60% of the population in those areas.

Self-help groups: 1,250 people with disabilities and family members took part in Milijuli groups.

Programme stage: a mature, government-institutionalised programme, implemented across all 137 local governments in Koshi Province.

The total number of people with disabilities identified is not yet provided. The reporting year and current figures need confirmation with Karuna Foundation Nepal; the healthcare-access and self-help-group figures should not be read as totals for all 137 local governments.
