Monitoring Manual and Menu (MM+M) for CBR and other Community-Based Disability Inclusive Development Programs - Menu

Abstract

Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR) is a valued community development approach but there is a lack of evidence of its efficacy (World Report on Disability 2011; and more recently confirmed in the Global Disability Action Plan 2014). Monitoring is a first step to build the evidence base and assist decision-making. The Centre for Disability Research and Policy at the University of Sydney, in collaboration with CBR stakeholders from the Asia Pacific region, has produced a monitoring manual and menu (MM&M) for CBR and other community-based disability inclusive development programs. The MM&M offers these programs guidance to plan and implement locally controlled monitoring activities that empower stakeholders with information – including but not limited to people with disabilities, their families and communities.
