PHA-Exchange> CBR Global Mapping

[Claudio]

  From: PHM Global Secretariat 
   
  WHO, UNESCO and ILO are developing Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) Guidelines following Helsinki (2003) recommendations and CBR Joint Position Paper 2004 which adopts CBR as a Strategy for Rehabilitation, Equalization of Opportunities, Poverty Reduction and Social Inclusion of People with Disabilities. The involvement of people with disabilities in all development initiatives is changing - "Nothing about us without us".

   

  CBR needs a new impetus to cope with world changes and, at the same time, needs to be developed as a profession. People with disabilities and their families must lead a quality of life and be equal member of the community with equal rights, opportunities and responsibilities. The strategy needs to be multisectoral.

   

  To achieve this, CBR implementers need to have access to up to date information, a forum for sharing successes and failures, a guiding group for the beginners, a platform to network with other like minded developmental organizations - a Global CBR Network which will be an amalgamation of 3 Continental CBR Network - Asia, Africa and America.

   

  Towards this, WHO has initiated an exercise of "CBR Global Mapping" (a database of CBR implementers and CBR resource personnel). WHO is asking your assistance to carry out this ambitious project.  WHO has developed a simple outlook based contact form which is enclosed herewith. WHO would appreciate, if you know any CBR organization or resource person - please share this note with them and request them to send the form back to us for further action.

   

  Please fill up and send back to us with a copy to Chapal Khasnabis (khasnabisc at who.int). 

   

  If you have any query please do not hesitate to communicate with us.
