Future perspectives: Promote information sharing, comparative evaluation and research at all levels

Strong research will help to

make CBR visible to officials, managers, funders and the public

encourage and stimulate staff, people with disabilities, communities

promote creativity, innovation and development

Eg. We need measure (s) of “community integration” for China’s communities; this may be different in urban and rural areas; it could be in reasonable detail to help for future planning; but also have a way to link it up with international measures

We also need a way to measure effective CBR services that is not just about people with disability but also about communities and change processes that move towards integration
