Participatory Development of an Impact Evaluation Model and Toolkit for Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) (in Uganda and Malawi)
Project Summary
In the context of the wide practice of Community Based听Rehabilitation as a cross-sectoral strategy for supporting disabled听people in middle and low income settings, the study aims to听develop a conceptual model and tools for the participatory听evaluation of the impact of CBR on the lives of people with听disabilities.
The approach draws on evaluation methodologies used in other听development arenas but which have not previously been used听systematically in the disability sector. (eg Outcome Mapping,听PADEV, Most Significant Change and others). The model and tools are being trialled in fieldsites in Malawi and听Uganda using locally employed research teams which include听disabled people as evaluators as well as informants.
The final output will be a clear systematic process which can be听used flexible in a wide variety of types of CBR programmes in听different cultural contexts and at different levels of depth and听detail.听This should provide a method of evaluation which can inform future听practice for individual programmes, but also allow some听comparison across programmes and approaches to support and听rehabilitation for disabled people.
