Abstract
Community-based rehabilitation programmes (CBR) are considered fundamental in improving the well-being of persons with disabilities by facilitating access to basic services like healthcare, education, housing, and employment and fostering their participation in the community through the transfer of knowledge and skills concerning disability and rehabilitation to people with disabilities, their families and the community at large to enhance social inclusion. However, despite the existence of the Disability Community programmes, it is not clear how community-based rehabilitation support has fostered the social inclusion of persons with disabilities in Kenya. Based on the data from Tigania East, Meru County, Kenya, this paper explores the impact of community-based programmes on the social inclusion of persons with disabilities with a view to influencing policy formulation to foster livelihood and inclusion of the disability in the community agenda.
