Research Interest

'The development, testing, and first implementation of a set of outcome indicators for monitoring Community-based Rehabilitation (CBR)'

CBR is an umbrella-term for strategies within general community development for rehabilitation, equalization of opportunities, and social inclusion of all people with disabilities that aim to address their wider needs within their communities. The World Health Organization (WHO) acknowledges the importance of CBR in tackling stigma, discrimination, and barriers to equal participation and also recognizes the need for a sound and systematic monitoring strategy in order to promote and advocate for the broader implementation of CBR.
This PhD project, in partnership with WHO, aims to develop and test a multi-sectoral set of standardised CBR indicators suitable to monitor the changes that different CBR strategies initiate in the lives of PwD, with the goal of international comparability.
