Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) is the preferred approach to empowering persons with disabilities in low income countries. The strategy promotes the empowering of communities through skills transfer to community cadres so that they are able to identify, assess, and provide basic interventions as well as to refer persons with disabilities for more specialiased support. CBR acknowledges the cross cutting nature of disability and the implementation of multi sectoral approaches in service delivery.
MACOHA in conjuction with CBM are running CBR programmes in Lilongwe, Salima, Nkhata-Bay, Nkhota-kota, Dowa, Ntchisi, Dedza, and Ntcheudistricts
