About Community Based Inclusion, The Pacific Way


In this project, we take the approach of collecting empowerment stories to illustrate different aspects of community based inclusive development (CBID) and to profile how Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) workers and disability advocates in the Pacific can work together with individuals, families, and communities to enable inclusion in all aspects of everyday life.
