Skills development through Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR): a good practice guide

The International Labour Organisation (ILO) has prepared this guide to good practice in skills development through community-based rehabilitation (CBR) as a contribution to defining how CBR can best be used as a strategy for poverty reduction among disabled people.

Community-based rehabilitation (CBR) is a multi-sectoral approach to meeting the health, education, vocational skills and livelihood needs  of children, youth and adults with disabilities, primarily in developing countries.

The guide describes the key steps required in the planning and implementation of community approaches to developing the skills development and access to work for disabled people.

Case studies identified in field visits undertaken on behalf of the ILO in Africa (Malawi, South Africa and Uganda and Zimbabwe), the Middle East (Lebanon and Jordan), and Asia (India,Cambodia and the Philippines) illustrate how CBR programs can contribute to the economic well-being of disabled people living in different economic, political and cultural contexts through community-based skills training programs.
