Abstract

By drawing lessons from several southern African countries, this chapter argues for CBR to be a preferred development strategy in promoting disability-inclusive social development. They believe that a socially inclusive community-based rehabilitation implements development strategies that promote full participation of people with disabilities. Such disability-inclusive community development strategies seek to create and sustain structures that optimise the participation of people with disabilities in their diversity, rather than expecting them to fit in within existing sub-optimal arrangements. Also, the authors argue that full collaboration of governmental and civic community in the design and delivery of community development initiatives in which persons with disabilities actively contribute, are key elements of a successful community-based rehabilitation programme.
