What is CBR?

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR) Program is a strategy within community development aimed at rehabilitation, equalization of opportunities, and the integration of Persons with Disabilities (PwDs). It is implemented through the active participation of the local community including persons with disabilities, their families, and residents and supported by health, education, vocational, and social services, utilizing local resources.

The program focuses on individuals with disabilities who require basic rehabilitation and training in movement, speech, special education, and essential life skills. It is open to individuals of all ages and types of disabilities. The approach emphasizes integrated collaboration among various sectors in planning and delivering services and facilities.
