Image of CBR: A participatory strategy in Africa

This book is based on the proceedings of a conference in Uganda in 2001 and provides an important contribution to understanding how CBR (Community-based Rehabilitation) operates in Africa. The book offers a reflective piece of work that can be used as a basis for action throughout Africa. Subjects include: controversies in CBR, CBR in the African context, professionals' participation in CBR programmes, government's role and the role of legislation in facilitating CBR, people with disabilities "owning" CBR, HIV/AIDS and CBR, parents' role in CBR, and the use of a classification system in collecting disability statistics.
