CBR Africa Network (CAN) is an independent Non-Governmental Organisation that facilitates information sharing on disability, CBR and inclusive development within Africa and across the World. It is the African regional affiliate of the CBR Global Network. CAN’s niche is information sharing to facilitate learning and improvement in service delivery for PWDs; and it is a key tool for inclusive development. This is important in the bid to realise equalization of opportunities, social integration and rehabilitation of PWDs in Africa. CAN was established in 2001 following resolutions made at the 1^st CBR Africa Regional Conference: ‘CBR as a participatory strategy in Africa’. CAN aims to facilitate the sharing of information about community-based services for PWDs and their families in African countries. Prior to CAN’s establishment there was very little information readily available about CBR to facilitate policy and decision-making processes by stakeholders. Due to the oral tradition that dominates the communication process in Africa, there was minimal evidence of documentation and sharing of CBR experiences. This undermined the progress of CBR in the rehabilitation of PWDs, as good practices were not shared and programmes remained unevaluated. It was a threat, especially in African countries, which had embraced the CBR approach and yet lacked the documented evidence to expressively defend the strategy.

The Leprosy Mission (TLM) is an international Christian organisation which helps people affected by leprosy. Founded in 1874, The Leprosy Mission is the oldest and largest leprosy-focused organisation in the world today. Leprosy affects people’s lives in many different ways, so we care for their physical, social, spiritual and psychological needs. In our projects we concentrate on healthcare, community-based rehabilitation, prevention of disability, advocacy, capacity building, education, stigma reduction and occasionally on disaster response and preparedness. Leprosy is not understood by most communities and as a result people are fearful of it, which means those affected by leprosy are often stigmatised.
We want to see a leprosy-free world. Our vision is for ‘leprosy defeated, lives transformed’. This is why our main focus is on leprosy, however, our work often includes other people with disabilities, other neglected tropical diseases, other marginalised people in society, and those living in extreme poverty.
Around the world we have about 2,000 staff and implement or support projects in 18 countries. The largest number of projects is in India, but there are also a significant number in Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nigeria and Nepal. Increasingly the Mission seeks to work with partners as well as implementing projects directly. The gross annual income of the Mission is around £23 million, of which 65% comes through private donations and bequests, 15% comes from government and institutional funders, and 20% from fees and other sources.
