Image of CBR as part of Community Development

Based on a conference in Uganda on Community Based Rehabilitation and contains the experiences and views of CBR experts from 14 countries and describes how they shared their experiences. Subjects covered included an account of the history of CBR in Uganda and the way in which training has developed there together with the role of NGOs and government services in the development of CBR programmes in Uganda and other African countries. The important, under-researched and under-served issue of HIV/AIDS and disability was also considered, and there is also a study about a group of people with disabilities who became bicycle taxi drivers. The participants say the book provides an important contribution to understanding how CBR points ways forward for the future.
