Facilitates the access of people with disabilities to health, mental health, specialized rehabilitation, education, economic independence, social protection, and social participation.
The CBR Program intervenes on the individual level so that people with disabilities have access to essential services, such as health, rehabilitation, education, mental health, social protection, and economic and social participation.
The CBR Program works on the institutional level to mainstream disability rights and issues in the agendas of public and private institutions and organizations.
The CBR approach has been adopted in Bethlehem Arab Society for Rehabilitation since the early 1990s through the CBR Program. The program targets PWDs from all types of disabilities, age groups, and gender, as well as their families, Disabled People’s Organizations (DPOs), governmental and civil society organizations within the West Bank. Since its beginnings, the CBR Program has continuously worked towards developing its philosophy, strategy, and tools to finally adopt the community-based inclusive development (CBID) approach. The CBID believes that working towards change requires targeting all societal and structural aspects so that they become more sensitive and inclusive of the rights and issues of PWDs.
