Community-based rehabilitation (CBR) is a strategy that focuses on enhancing the quality of life of people with disabilities through equal opportunities, rehabilitation, and social integration. CBR is implemented through collaboration between people with disabilities, their families, communities, and support services. It aims to meet basic needs and ensure inclusion and participation.

The basic principles of CBR include inclusion, participation, sustainability, empowerment, and advocacy.
