Why this session matters
Across the world, Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR) and Community-Based Inclusive Development (CBID) programmes are making a real difference to realise the rights of persons with disabilities.
But one challenge keeps coming back: how do we make those results last?
What this session is about
In this 1-hour online session, the Breaking down Barriers (BdB) team shares what they’ve learned from recent research.
You’ll get practical insight into:
What makes Community Based Disability Inclusion programmes sustainable
Where things often go wrong
And how to design programmes that last from the start
What you will learn in 60 minutes
The five key factors that shape CBR/CBID sustainability: community engagement, financial sustainability, policy integration, operational capacity and partnerships as crosscutting factors
What conditions enable CBR/CBID uptake
Which civil society design program choices embed CBR/CBID in public systems
Tools for participatory sustainability planning
Concrete actions for OPDs, NGO’s, government and donors to build programmes that continue beyond donor funding
