Our community-based rehabilitation strategy (CBR) is a model of psychosocial support and community development aimed at social inclusion and the active participation of people with disabilities and / or victims of the armed conflict, from a differential, territorial rights approach, through five empowerment components: sociopolitical - health - education - labor inclusion, productivity and income generation - culture, recreation and sports.
How do we do it?
Our team from the Special Projects Unit, in alliance with the different governments, mayors and/or international cooperation entities, reaches the different populations of the country to develop and implement CBR social innovation projects in the framework of established norms. We tailor solutions to the territorial, collective and individual needs of the targeted population, in order to generate processes of self-management and promotion of individual and collective leadership.
