CBR Matrix

A comprehensive multi-sectoral CBR
programme should cover the key domains of
well-being: health, education, livelihood, social
and the empowerment of people with
disabilities and their families.
 The matrix has been developed to help CBR
managers visualize the range and depth
possible in a CBR programme.
 Each of the five components, have been
divided into elements which a comprehensive
CBR programme may address depending on
local circumstances.

LIVELIHOOD
SOCIAL - many CBR programmes have
focused on basic physical rehabilitation, often
ignoring the personal desires and social
ambitions of individuals with disabilities
 EMPOWERMENT - Empowerment happens
when individuals or groups of people
recognize that they alone can change their
situation and then begin to do so

CBR and Crisis Situation - natural disasters, humanmade disasters (conflict, war, technologic accidents, etc)
CBR and HIV/AIDS - Need for CBR to participate in the
response to HIV
CBR and Mental Health - CBR has only recently started
taking into account mental health issues and people
affected by it are the most marginalized in any society

people with leprosy-related disability in the life of their
