    WORLD BLIND UNION ANNUAL REPORT 2010

    Message from the President
    By Maryanne Diamond

    I am pleased to introduce the 2010 annual report of the World Blind Union (WBU). This is the second report of the current term, 2008 – 2012.
    Our work is based on the strategic plan developed in 2008 which was reviewed during 2010 by the officers and executive committee refining it where necessary. The plan remains to be based around three priority areas: representation, capacity building and information sharing.

    This report outlines our work against these areas. In addition, to enable us to undertake the work in each of these priority areas, the plan contains one Enabling Priority.

    In reading the report, it is clear that we have made good progress in some areas; some level of progress made in other areas although there remains much to do in order to achieve our plan as set down at the start of the term.

    One area of our work which continues to make good progress taking a great deal of time and effort is our work with the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) on a treaty for the blind and print disability community. During 2010, through our hard work the issue of access to information has been discussed at the highest levels at the international level with a highlight being a speech made at the WIPO General Assembly by Stevie Wander in support of our treaty. 2011 is a critical year for the negotiations and we are hopeful that governments around the world will come together and solve this problem. The ability to share alternate format published works from country to country opens up opportunities in education, employment and access to the community for millions of people who are blind or have low vision and will be a demonstration of implementing many articles contained in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

    As a result of a great deal of hard work in 2010, it is pleasing that in 2011 we will commence two projects with funds obtained from foundations. One is a Human Rights project in Africa and the other in Partnership with CNIB is to establish an employment resource bank.

    Our partnerships with a range of organisations have been very successful during 2010. We had presentations from a number of these at the executive meeting held in Melbourne during November. WBU chaired the Vision Alliance during 2010 and together with IAPB and ICEVI we have identified areas of work to undertake jointly. Our agreement to hold our next general assembly with ICEVI November 2012 in Bangkok is a very exciting opportunity for us and one which provides a huge information exchange and collaboration for those in the field of education and those with the lived experience of blindness and provision of rehabilitation services.

    I would like to thank the six Regional Presidents and 6 Table Officers for their leadership and hard work over the year. Particular thanks must go to our small but hard working staff: Penny Hartin, Ianina Rodriguez and Sarah Smith without whom we could not have achieved what we have in 2010. Sarah Smith was with us during 2010 as our Manager of Communications and Fund Development. Her contribution in the redevelopment of our webpage, communications and introductions of potential funding bodies was a huge contribution. I would like to thank Sarah for her contribution and wish her every success in her next endeavours.

    Special thanks must go to our sponsors and supporters who make it possible for us to undertake our work. There are huge, in-kind contributions at all levels provided to us which must be recognised and celebrated. These are drawn primarily from amongst our membership. We have begun to capture these contributions and is evident the generosity of our members without who we could not achieve our work.

    I look forward to continuing to work with all of our members and partners in 2011.

    We should celebrate and be proud of the great deal we have achieved. Of course, much more needs to be done to make the kind of change we are all working towards, in the lives of people who are blind or partially sighted.

    Our Work

    The work of the WBU during 2010 has continued to be guided by our Strategic Plan which was developed in December 2008 and sets out our priorities and workplan for the 2009 to 2012 timeframe. The following pages discuss our Vision, Values and Priorities for the period as well as the work that has been undertaken so far in the advancement of those priorities. This report focuses primarily on initiatives undertaken at the global level. Our six WBU Regions also undertake a great deal of work within their regions to further these priorities and objectives. The specific Regions should be consulted directly for information about their regional initiatives and activities.

    Our Vision

    We have adopted a pyramid Vision structure which reflects our Vision of what we would hope to achieve within a twenty year timeframe as well as our Vision for this strategic planning cycle which is four years.

    Our long term, twenty year Vision is:

    A community where people who are blind or partially sighted are empowered to participate on an equal basis in any aspect of life they choose.

    Our short term, four year Vision, has three ladders that together will move us towards the realization of our long term vision. These three Vision ladders are:

    1. That WBU is recognized as the authentic voice representing blind and partially sighted persons at the international level
    2. That our members at all levels have the capacity and capability to deliver their programs
    3. That the WBU is recognized as an international source of information in matters related to vision impairment

    Strategic Priority 1: Representation

    Strategic Priority Leaders: Ajai Kumar Mittal, Treasurer and
    William Rowland, Past President
    Promoting full participation and equal opportunities for blind and partially sighted persons in all aspects of social, economic, political and cultural life

    Working towards a world accessible to blind and partially sighted persons

    Specific initiatives have been developed in the areas of access to information, mobility & transportation and access to technology. A good deal of progress has been made in each of these areas under the leadership of Christopher Friend.

     The Right to Read Campaign, whose objective is to dramatically improve access to printed material for persons with a print disability has demanded a great deal of effort and has made good progress towards the achievement of a WIPO Treaty for the Visually Impaired. The WBU treaty was the topic of discussion during two SCCR (Standing Committee on Copyright & Related Rights) Committee meetings of WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) during 2010, at which WBU members and partners played a significant role. Some good progress has been made to get countries “on board” but still there is much work to be done by our members at the international and national level. There is resistance from the publishing industry in some countries and three counter proposals to the Treaty have been put forward, which we do not believe will adequately resolve the “book famine” for blind and partially sighted persons. 2011 will be a critical year in advocating for our position for the Treaty for the Visually Impaired. In addition, several countries have now introduced Right to Read campaigns and have forged alliances to advance these.
     Some of the issues being undertaken by the mobility & transportation group include: the issue of silent cars, shared spaces, access to airline services. With respect to silent vehicles, some good progress has been made in achieving recognition of the safety issue imposed by silent vehicles: Advocacy work has been undertaken in several countries with several car manufacturers now recognizing the need for adaptations; Legislation regarding hybrid cars has been passed in some countries, notably the United States in late 2010; WBU wrote a letter to the international regulatory body dealing with the issue, calling for mandatory and consistent standards. Work has also been done working with an ISO committee on the redevelopment of Tactile Walking Surface Indicators; a new standard was agreed by the working group in 2010 and is now with ISO country delegates for voting. WBU members are advocating with their national representatives on the adoption of this new standard. The WBU and International Guide Dog Federation are continuing to look at ways to work together to resolve some of the mobility and transport issues that continue to face blind and partially sighted persons. An area of key concern is the continued problem that many blind persons still face when travelling alone on airlines and this will be the subject of continued work.
     The Technology working group has made some important progress in a number of areas: A good deal of effort has gone into making television and film accessible to blind and partially sighted persons through interventions with TV manufacturers and research work undertaken by RNIB and other working group members. This also includes working on sharing of international standards for accessible TV and film, standardization of audio description process. Techshare has now been expanded to other countries with Techshare India held in 2010 and plans for Techshare Africa as part of the African Forum in 2011. This is bringing technology closer to blind and partially sighted persons in developing countries. A good deal of work has been done with mobile telephone companies so that many more models are now fully accessible to blind and partially sighted persons, including the new Apple iphone and it ouch and iPad products. Other smartphones are now also incorporating accessibility features for ease of use including the ability to play talking books, use of GPS wayfinding, etc. The WBU Technology working group has been working with the Accessible Design Foundation of Japan and the WBU has designated a representative to the ISO (International Standards Organization) working group dealing with the accessible design of products

    Representing blind and partially sighted persons at the United Nations and UN Agencies

    The WBU has consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council and as such has the opportunity to participate in many sessions at the UN and its agencies. Some highlights of our participation over the past year include the following:

     The WBU was represented at both meetings of the CRPD monitoring committee that were held in 2010 and at the Conference of States/Parties held in New York regarding the CRPD implementation. We also submitted briefs to the CRPD Monitoring Committee General Day of Discussion which in 2010 focused on Accessibility.
     We participated in meetings with the World Health Organization regarding the Vision 2020 program and the finalization of the World Disability Report and the CBR Guidelines.
     The EBU President represented WBU at the Universal Postal Union (UPU) meetings to advance discussions regarding the modernization of the “free post for the blind” provision, which will be considered further during 2011 and which requires advocacy intervention by WBU members.
     Our work with WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) is ongoing as we work towards agreement of a Treaty to improve access to the printed word for blind, partially sighted and other print disabled persons.
     The Chair of our Children’s network continues to be an active participant on the UNICEF NGO committee on disability and has been engaged in the process to reorganize NGO input into UNICEF.
     The WBU President continues to represent the WBU at the World Bank GPDD (Global Program on Disability & Development) and as a member of the GPDD Board.
     Discussions have been held with representatives from ILO in order to become more active with them and the WBU President attended the ILO General Assembly in Geneva in June 2010.

    Advocating for human rights of blind and partially sighted persons

    A Human Rights and Advocacy working group has been established and they met to develop their course of action. In addition, the WBU took steps to advocate on behalf of blind persons who are displaced in Northern Pakistan as a result of the conflict there, as well as on behalf of persons with albinism who are being killed in Tanzania. Other letters were written by the WBU President in support of particular advocacy issues being undertaken by members, at their request. In general, we have been disappointed with the response of UN and other international bodies to our interventions.

    As a result of several natural disasters that took place in 2010, some requests were made to WBU members to provide assistance to members in countries that were particularly affected. These included interventions related to the earthquakes in Haiti and Chile and the floods in Pakistan. As a consequence of the impact of these disasters, the WBU is developing a position statement on our response to situations of emergency and disaster in member countries and will work with other Vision Alliance members to develop an advocacy strategy to ensure that mainstream aid organizations are better equipped to meet the needs of blind and partially sighted persons affected by these disasters.

    Supporting our members to implement the CRPD at the national level

     As of January 20th 2011, 147 countries have signed the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, 90 countries have ratified the Convention, 97 countries have signed the “Optional Protocol” and 60 countries have ratified the “Optional Protocol”. Now that more than 80 Countries have ratified the Convention, another 6 members were elected to the Committee in September 2010.
     We are in the final stages of preparing a CRPD toolkit for our members to assist them with the implementation and monitoring of the CRPD. This toolkit will provide specific information about the implications of the CRPD for blind and partially sighted persons and will also bring together a variety of resources from a number of other sources. In addition, a funding proposal has been accepted to do research on the availability of mainstream CRPD training resources in Africa. This project will get underway in the first half of 2011.
     We have begun the process of establishing Regional CRPD networks with National CRPD champions to support the work of our national members.

    Strategic Priority 2: Capacity Building

    Strategic Priority Leaders: Arnt Holte, 1st Vice President and Frances Candiru, 2nd Vice President

    Strengthening the capabilities and capacity of the WBU regional structures and member organisations

    Improving employment opportunities for blind and partially sighted persons

    Following the Employment Summit, held in London in June 2009 a working group met face to face and via telephone in order to elaborate a strategy for advancing this initiative to improve the employment situation of blind and partially sighted persons around the world. The four key initiatives agreed to were: the collection of case studies, the development of an employment resource bank, documentation for peer support/mentoring programs, and initiatives related to micro-enterprise/income generating projects. In addition, a major project proposal was developed regarding the establishment of the employment resource bank. This proposal was recently accepted by the funder and so this work will commence in 2011. We have begun collecting case studies and guidelines have been developed for the collection of case studies and resource bank materials, and some opportunities related to micro-enterprise/income generating projects have also been identified

    Developing the capacity of our members

    The Development Committee has been re-established with the participation of members from key international organizations involved in development work. A proposal to engage a development coordinator has been developed and submitted to a number of potential sources for support. Although funding has not as yet been received, the proposal has generated some interest and work on that is being pursued by the WBU office. The Development committee held a Development summit in Madrid in June of 2010 in order to further identify and articulate its plans for capacity building among our members. Some specific activities that have already taken place include: the development of a strategy for the distribution of 10,000 braille slates donated by the Italian Union of the Blind to developing countries and the development of a partnership with the Hadley School for the Blind to promote its free educational programs to blind students worldwide and the promotion of its newly established Executive Leadership Program for blind leaders.

    The Development Committee also oversaw the evaluation and approval of WBU scholarships from the Pedro Zurita Youth Fund, the Hermoine Grant Calhoun Scholarship Fund for Blind Women and the Arne Husveg Development Fund. In total they approved 10 scholarships for a total value of $7,650.

    Supporting our target populations for full inclusion

    A Diversity Committee has been established, which is supported by Networks representing each of the target groups of; women, children, youth, elderly persons, and persons with low vision. These networks have regional representation and are looking at ways to engage their target populations. A survey to determine the present target group composition of WBU members was developed and distributed to the WBU membership. The survey had some responses but the results are inconclusive to date. The Committee has begun planning of a Diversity Forum to be held prior to WBU General Assembly. Some particular initiatives undertaken by the networks include: the Elderly Working group is identifying resources to be placed on the WBU website that will document some best practices in working with the Elderly Blind; the Women’s network has launched an on-line discussion group; the Children’s network has been very active with UNICEF and in addition, is conducting a survey of Parents’ organizations around the world in order to establish a network of Parents Associations. With respect to Low Vision, we are developing a joint strategy with other Vision Alliance members who also have their own low vision committee structures and where we think collaboration will be beneficial.

    Strengthening of WBU World Braille Council

    The WBU World Braille Council has been reconstituted with representation from the major language groups with the WBU, from our Regions and from key stakeholder sectors. The WBU World Braille Council has now had two face to face meetings, and is led by Mr. J.L. Kaul from India. Some of the initiatives underway include the following:

     A number of working groups have been established to look into issues of uniform mathematical symbols and notations; language issues; tactile materials for educational purposes; to promote the establishment and support of national and regional Braille authorities; the development of a bibliography of Braille resource materials
     Materials are being gathered regarding the use of Braille on consumer products, etc., and the WBU has been represented at ISO Working groups dealing with the issue. Once standards are agreed, they will be placed on the WBU website
     The Library of Congress in the USA is working with ICEB (International Council on English Braille) to begin work on the release of the 3rd edition of “World Braille Usage”
     A major Conference, Braille 21, is being planned for September 27 – 30, 2011, hosted by The German Central Library for the Blind. the conference will be forward-looking and will focus on innovations in Braille.

    Strategic Priority 3: Information Sharing

    Strategic Priority Leader: Enrique Pérez, Secretary General
    Serving as an international information and resource centre on matters in respect of blind and partially sighted persons

    Developing a Resource Repository for members including website

    A good deal of work has been done to update the website and ensure materials are available in our three working languages. A new website structure has been designed and was launched in early 2011. Because of its more user-friendly platform, it will be easier to maintain it up to date and to use some of the Web 2.0 capabilities. The addition of a part-time Communications resource in early 2010 has also enabled us to enhance our communications to members and the general public. A priority is developing our Resource bank and the recently approved proposal related to the development of a resource bank for employment will enable us to commence this work.

    Developing international partnerships and collaboration

    Much work has been done to strengthen our partnerships and collaboration with other organizations. The Vision Alliance, which was established between the WBU, IAPB and ICEVI, has been holding regular meetings and has developed some interesting strategies for mutual collaboration. Vision Alliance was chaired by the WBU during 2010. WBU continues to be an active member of the International Disability Alliance and has participated in all of its meetings during 2010. IDA has become a strong network, well recognized within the UN system. We continue to work very cooperatively with ICEVI on the EFAVI campaign which has included attendance at all ICEVI Global Taskforce and Executive meetings. The Executives of WBU and ICEVI recently passed a joint resolution to advance the Education for All Campaign and in particular access to resources through the World Bank. A joint taskforce has now been established to further this work. We have also updated and signed a new Memorandum of Understanding with IBSA (International Blind Sports Association) to develop areas of cooperation and collaboration between the two organizations. We are also in discussion with the International Guide Dog Federation (IGDF) to explore ways of working together to improve mobility and transportation access for blind and partially sighted persons. We have developed some excellent collaboration with the Hadley School for the Blind which has recently been accepted as an International member of the WBU and the WBU President has been invited to serve on the Board of the AMD Alliance International.

    Developing the capacity to include our various language communities within the work of the WBU

    The languages working group is continuing to develop strategies for improving our ability to serve our multiple language groups within the WBU. Materials developed by WBU and intended for the website, the general public or for the full membership are now available in English, French and Spanish and correspondence is answered in the working language of choice. A volunteer from Jordan has also translated many of our documents into Arabic and these will be linked from the WBU website. In addition, the translation software being used by the office, while not suitable for external translations, does facilitates the translation process for internal documents. In 2010, a survey was conducted among similar international organizations – the responses which revealed that WBU provides more translation/language support than most others, and at least equal to any surveyed. The working group also agreed on a strategy to encourage translation as “payment in kind” service for non-financial members.

    Enabling Priority: Effective Organization

    Enabling Priority Leader: Maryanne Diamond, President
    Ensuring the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability of the WBU

    Working to expand the membership

    Eleven new membership applications have been approved since the General Assembly - 2 National, 6 International and 3 Associate members. More applications are pending. In addition, non-paying Associate members who have not responded to communications have been removed from the membership list. A new membership application form and information about membership for prospective members have been developed for the new website.

    Maintaining the membership

    There is ongoing communication with WBU members on a number of topics and the Regional Unions are engaged to facilitate communication as appropriate. The frequent communication has resulted in improved fees payments and better quality contact information.

    Coordinating the development of and reviewing WBU Policies and Position Papers

    A policies working group has been established which has categorized the policies, determined those that need review and updating and have been assigned for revision. A protocol related to policy papers was developed and approved by the WBU Executive; a number of new policy papers and position statements are in the development process; several internal policies, procedures and guidelines have also been developed to facilitate the work of WBU. All new and revised policies and procedures are translated and posted on the website.

    Overseeing WBU financial resources

    The Finance Committee has met on a regular basis to review financial statements and our position compared to the budget. The year 2010 was completed within the approved budget. A detailed operating budget was developed and approved for both 2009 and 2010. The Finance committee also reviews policies and procedures to ensure compliance with proper financial practices.

    The membership fees committee continued to meet to manage the implementation of the new membership fee structure that had been approved by the General Assembly in August of 2008. The committee streamlined the process for accepting and reviewing applications for fees relief with the result of continued improved payment of fees by members. A two year review of the membership fees structure revealed that the number of members paying fees and the amount of fees collected have increased and that flexibility within the structure has been able to address concerns raised by members at the time of implementing the new membership fee structure. This report was shared with the WBU Executive when then met in Melbourne in November 2010 who expressed their appreciation for the results of the analysis and their support for the new membership fees structure. Notwithstanding the improved results, some members continue to be non-financial, even after fees relief was approved and so ongoing follow-up by the committee and by Regional Presidents is required.

    Developing and implementing the Funding Strategy

    Building on the work begun in 2009 supported by the RNIB to develop WBU’s external fundraising potential, we were able to advance our fund development work in some important ways. In April of 2010 we engaged a Manager of Fund Development and Communications in our WBU office, which was able to bring more time, energy and excellent experience to build our fund development program. Proposals were updated, new proposals developed and a number of potential prospective donors identified. We were invited to submit several full proposals based on interest shown in the preliminary concept papers developed to promote specific projects. The most significant success was a success full proposal to the Trillium Foundation based in Toronto Canada, a proposal that was submitted as a collaboration with the CNIB and which will enable us to build the employment resource bank on our website. Another smaller proposal has been granted support by the Open Society Institute of the Soros Foundation and several other proposals are under consideration.

    We have expanded our Resource Generation Working Group which brings together some of the leaders in fundraising from a number of our member organizations, and updated our Fundraising Policy to clarify how WBU will approach fundraising; this updated policy was approved by the WBU Executive in November 2010.

    There is still much work to be done to develop our external sources of funding. While we are very grateful for the supplementary support provided by a number of our members, we believe that we are still too reliant on our members for our sustainability and must continue to investigate other opportunities for generating income. We believe that the steps we have taken will help to position us for future growth.

    Monitoring the effectiveness of the WBU operations to support its work

    The President worked closely with the CEO and office staff to monitor the performance and functioning of the office operations. This included regular email and Skype calls as well as face to face meetings whenever made possible by travel schedules. The President also provided regular updates to the Officers, and held face to face meetings of both the Officers and the Executive in 2010.

    Preliminary work was begun to prepare for the next General Assembly. This included the preparation of a General Assembly manual to assist in Assembly planning as well as evaluation of bids received. This bid evaluation resulted in a recommendation that was accepted by the WBU Executive to hold the 8th General Assembly in Bangkok Thailand in November 2012. An element of that bid recommendation was a recommendation to explore the possibility of holding a collaborative event with ICEVI to encompass the General Assemblies of both organizations. This investigation was successful and both WBU and ICEVI have now agreed to hold both General Assemblies in Thailand in November of 2012 with two days of overlapping programs.



    Our Finances

    The following is a summary of our financial position. Please see our audited financial statements for detailed information.

    Sources of Revenue
    Membership fees 49.3%
    Member donations 41.3%
    Other revenue 9.4%

    Use of funds
    Capacity development 32.1%
    Mission representation 21.9%
    Information & education 20.1%
    Membership activities 12.3%
    Administration, fundraising & governance 13.6%


    Our Key Supporters

    Over 90% of our funding comes from members at this time. In addition to the membership fees paid by all WBU members, many of our members contribute to support our work in cash and in kind.

    The following lists voluntary monetary contributions from WBU members over and above their membership fees:

    Platinum Sponsors
    CNIB (The Canadian National Institute for the Blind)
    ONCE (Organización Nacional de Ciegos Españoles)
    RNIB (Royal National Institute of Blind Persons)
    Sightsavers International
    Vision Australia

    Diamond Sponsors
    NABP (Norwegian Association of the Blind and Partially Sighted)
    RZNFB (Royal New Zealand National Foundation of the Blind)
    SFB (Swiss Federation of the Blind and other partners)


    Gold Sponsors
    Unione Italiana Ciechi (Italian Union of the Blind)
    National Industries for the Blind
    Malaysian Union of the Blind

    In-Kind Support
    Many members also support our work through their support of staff or volunteers on WBU committees and working groups. While we are unable to quantify the exact monetary value of that support, we have begun to capture it through reporting of our Officers and Strategic Objective Leaders. While this does not capture the entire contribution, it is nonetheless very significant. The contribution of travel costs by our members is over $280,000 USD per year. And the amount of time spent on the work of the WBU that is contributed by key sponsoring organizations is the equivalent of 3.5 staff. Of these, there are five organizations that have contributed in excess of $50,000 in time and travel costs to support our work. These organizations are:

    NABP (Norwegian Association of the Blind & Partially Sighted)
    ONCE (Organización Nacional de Ciegos Españoles)
    RNIB (Royal National Institute of Blind Persons)
    Sightsavers International
    Vision Australia

    Many other organizations also contributed significantly to our work through their in-kind contributions. These include: All India Confederation of the Blind (AICB), The Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB), American Foundation for the Blind, A.K. Mittal, and William Rowland. Clearly the WBU would not be able to achieve its objectives without the monetary and in-kind support of our members and we are most grateful for their assistance in making us a strong, collective voice of blind and partially sighted persons.
