Background
The first CBR Africa Conference was held at the Uganda National Institute for Special Education (UNISE), Kampala in 2001. This conference was the final output of the linkage between UNISE and the Centre for International Child Health (CICH) University College London. The linkage was designed to facilitate and support the development of CBR training in Uganda. Four action points were identified at the Kampala conference, which later formed the initial tasks of the new organization, CAN.
