CBR Matrix

A comprehensive multi-sectoral CBR programme should cover the key domains of well-being: health, education, livelihood, social and the empowerment of people with disabilities and their families.

The matrix has been developed to help CBR managers visualize the range and depth possible in a CBR programme.

Each of the five components, have been divided into elements which a comprehensive CBR programme may address depending on local circumstances.

INTRODUCTION

Evolution of the disability concept - medical model to the rights-based approach

Disability scenario today – and move “Towards an inclusive society”

Development of CBR - Need for evidence-based practices to prove the effectiveness of the approach

Purpose of the CBR Guidelines

Chapters on the Different Components

HEALTH EDUCATION LIVELIHOOD SOCIAL - many CBR programmes have

focused on basic physical rehabilitation, often ignoring the personal desires and social ambitions of individuals with disabilities

EMPOWERMENT - Empowerment happens when individuals or groups of people recognize that they alone can change their situation and then begin to do so

CBR IN SPECIAL SCENARIOS

CBR and Crisis Situation - natural disasters, human-made disasters (conflict, war, technologic accidents, etc)

CBR and HIV/AIDS - Need for CBR to participate in the response to HIV

CBR and Mental Health - CBR has only recently started taking into account mental health issues and people affected by it are the most marginalized in any society

CBR and Leprosy - The role of CBR programmes is to include people who have leprosy- related disability in the services they provide and promote the full inclusion of people with leprosy-related disability in the life of their communities
