  1. LEPROSY PROGRAMMES ADOPTING THE CBR APPROACH: SUCCESSES AND CHALLENGES Maya Thomas

  2. Barriers to community activities in leprosy (2000, 2001: India) Mind set of service delivery mode Difficulty in shifting from institution based mind set to community work Resistance to role change towards facilitator Rigidity of hierarchy and bureaucracy that is not conducive to a ‘bottom-up’, participatory culture Lack of skills and knowledge in community work Mind set of ‘beneficiaries’ Lack of support from policy makers, donors

  3. Factors for success in ‘from leprosy alone to CBR’ Evaluation of a leprosy hospital and training centre in southern India (2003) Existing community health dept. with a strong community based POID programme Scope of interventions expanded to start a CBR programme for people with different disabilities in the field area Hospital departments became referral and training support systems Strong support from head of institution and donors at that time

  4. Challenges faced: Coordination between different departments in the hospital Resource implications for expanded community based activities Capacity building of field workers and managers for CBR

  5. The scenario todayHyd. Workshop: Ref. Leprosy Review, 2008;Vol 79,1 “Leprosy programmes moving towards CBR – that is the future of leprosy rehabilitation programmes” Need for partnerships and capitalising on existing strengths Need for advocacy with policy makers and donors Importance of capacity building Monitoring and evaluation issues
