Some of the chapters remain an exact replication of the presentations that took place, whilst others have been strengthened by additional information from discussions or relevant literature. In addition some chapters have been added that were not presented at the conference at all. As such this publication is a reflection and development from the original conference, one that is much richer and has much more to offer, than a straightforward conference proceedings document. The choice of "CBR as part of Community Development" originates from the observation that the WHO/ILO/UNESCO (1994) definition of CBR states that "CBR is part of Community Development". The book examines how this key concept is played out in practice and what challenges and opportunities it presents to the stakeholders of CBR programmes in Africa. Stakeholders here include disabled people themselves, planners, trainers, implementers and researchers of CBR. In 2004, at about the same time as the Malawi conference, WHO/ILO/ UNESCO amended and re-ratified this Joint Position Paper (WHO/ ILOAJNESCO, 2004). The amendments were relatively minor and CBR remained defined as "a strategy within general community development". One key change however, related to the recognition of poverty as both a major determinant and an outcome of disability. This resulted in the inclusion of "poverty reduction" as a key element of the recommended CBR strategy. The decision by the UN agencies to include poverty in the definition of CBR is a major step in highlighting the importance of addressing poverty as part of CBR and provides another
