Box 23.310, Dar es Salaam (Tanzania-Africa) Fax (++255) 22-2601544 (++225) 741-604302 Tel (++255) 22-2601543 E-Mail: vanneste@intafrica.com Rationale: Cost-effective CBR Programs are rarely found. NGO-type CBR programsare often too donor-driven, lack creativity and work isolated from other existing services. They underestimate how people and existing services within the communities can contribute. When working with poor people, by definition money cannot solve the problem. Most UN or Government-type CBR programsare more of a normative demand than a practical concept for the provision of services to persons with disability. They are often the victory of hope against reality. Because 'there is no money for rehabilitation', people hope that it can be done without money, without skilled people and without any formal management. A third alternative is comprehensive, cross-disability CBR programs with full time local staff and a formal management structure, which however makes use of all the available human, material and infrastructure resources. Its philosophy is rooted in a realistic understanding of existing institutions, holding the middle ground between overloading and under-utilizing the communities, between horizontal and vertical, between purely center-based and home-based. As such, it doesn't tolerate 'recipes' or 'formulae' for CBR, but requires creative managers with knowledge and vision on the true face of 'disability' and of 'rehabilitation' in their own country or region. In developing countries, where disability is highly poverty related, this approach requires (at least initially) donor funding. These CBR Training Sessions wish to promote this way of approaching CBR, which has very successfully been developed in several areas, and to enter a debate on those key-issues that may in the 21st century determine the future of CBR services. As far, nine 6-week sessions and four 2-week sessions have been organized with a total of 152 participants coming from 31 countries. As a result, over 60 new CBR programs were started along the same planning and management lines as being introduced during the training. The two-week sessions aim at a broader target group. The sessions include field visits in an urban (CCBRT-ART, Dar es Salaam) as well as in a rural (CCBRT-Kilimanjaro CBR) CBR program. Language of the Course:English. Good knowledge of English is required. Target Group:Priority is given to CBR Managers, CBM/CBMI Staff, Representatives of CBR-Donor Organizations, Government Staff, Managers of other disability-related programs, UN Personnel and Members of Service Clubs.
