„CBResearch“ – project outline

- Subject-related partnership between Pwani University (Kenya) and Technical University Munich (Germany)

- Main goal: development of study modules in the area of (dis)ability, participation and inclusive development

- project duration: April 2013 - December 2016

- supported by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), financed by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ)


Main aims of “CBResearch”: - building capacity and strengthening cooperation in teaching and

research in the field of (dis)ability, participation and inclusive development - building (local) human resources and scientific knowledge- providing access to knowledge- exchanging ideas, but also developing local solutions and approaches to

making development inclusive

UNCRPD, Article 32: “cooperation in research and access to scientific and technical knowledge” is an important step towards the inclusion of persons with disabilities

„CBResearch“ – project aims


- Today’s understanding of Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR): “a multisectoral approach working to improve the equalization of opportunities and social inclusion of people with disabilities while combating the perpetual cycle of poverty and disability” (WHO 2016)

- Major objectives of CBR following the twin-track approach: “To ensure that people with disabilities are able to maximise their physical

and mental abilities, to access regular services and opportunities, and to become active contributors to the community and society at large”

“To activate communities to promote and protect the human rights of people with disabilities through changes within the community, for example, by removing barriers to participation” (WHO 2004)
