    2. What is a good example from your experience where a CBR manager helped create an environment in which people with disabilities were able to actively participate in a decision-making process? What contributed to this active involvement?

    3. What, in your context, are key roles and responsibilities that a CBR manager can play?

    4. What do you hope to learn about managing CBR programmes from this module?

    The CBR Matrix cbr cbr-matrix
    The CBR matrix consists of five components (Health, Education, Livelihood, Social and Empowerment) and their associated elements. The Matrix provides a common framework that can be used to guide the development of new, as well as the revitalization of existing, CBR programmes.     created as part of the CBR Guidelines, has a set of common organizing principles for community-based rehabilitation, which are introduced in this module.

    It is recognized and expected that each CBR activity is unique and will need to make important decisions based on the human and economic resources available, as well as the economic, political and cultural environment in which the programme must operate. These decisions include:

    • which components of the CBR Matrix will need to be implemented to address the needs, priorities and resources of the communities being served?
    • how will the programme need to be adapted to satisfy the cultural values and expectations of the different groups and communities being served?
    • how can the programme be most effectively structured and managed?
