Sustainability of CBR: three strategies that should

facilitate change of projects into programmes

1. Policies support: governments are expected to provide funding at a level according to local economic situation

Implication: people with disabilities and their families must be included in benefits of economic growth & social development

2. Technological support: investment in rehabilitation centre and assistive technology is rapidly improving

Recognition of need for specialists & referral mechanisms as integral part of CBR

3. Human resources support: Disabled Persons Federations (DPF) are staffed and report to governments at all levels

Positions with job descriptions, training requirements and subsidies for community workers are mandated
