Though CBR is currently practised in more than 90 countries and is part of many national strategies, most CBR programmes in South Asia traditionally follow a vertical approach, which mostly focuses on a single sector or domain. For example, health with an exclusive focus on physical rehabilitation, or education, with an exclusive focus on pre-primary and primary school inclusion. The Government of India with the support of CBM is planning to adopt CBR in mission mode and that would ensure very large funding by the Government. There are strong initiatives on CBR and components thereof in Bangladesh, Nepal, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. South Asia region leads the world in respect of implementation of concept of CBR and components thereof.
